My two daughters both live in Jhb. I worry about them every day. Thinking about you. Hugs.
4758Will pray for this family and the country as a whole as you all go through this terrible tragedy....
261161What a sad and dreadful day for you and all the families involved in this tragedy. I will definitely remember you and the family in my prayers. Hugs
410Dear Yvonne, my heart goes out to you and your friend's family. It all just seems so futile. I wished guns were never invented, or for that matter any tool for the destruction of a life. I truly hope and pray that peace will eventually happen in your country and for that matter in our world. If everybody would just learn to get along - after all we are all human beings, doesn't matter what we look like or who we pray to. I also hope that in time the dreadful horrors that those children and mother witnessed will dissipate. God bless you all, love Chris
234253So sorry to hear this. This kind of happening is so scary and it does not look like anything will change soon (or ever, for that matter)
Feel so bad for those poor children - nothing will ever take these pictures out of their heads. Hope that they and their mother find peace of some kind in the future and can live full lives despite this horror.
27028This is so terrible, what happened to provoke this violence? What is a farm murder? Were they targeted because they were wealthy? Kay

Kay - One of the reasons farmers are targeted it that they usually live on large land that is far away from the nearest neighbours., so they cannot get help quickly. Robbery is the main reason and farms always keep guns, which is usually what all the thieves want. It is all terribly sad. We have tremendous poverty here but they do not have to kill
85867So sorry to read this; it is so sad and terrible too. I will be keeping them in my prayers.
19452I am so sorry, for you and your friend and these children. How very sad all this violence. Prayers and hugs, Jan

I've just been listening to a commentary on the Holocaust and the Irish potato famine and I am appalled anew at man's inhumanity to man.

It is true that about the potato famine but that wasn't the only food the Irish grew and ate. As a Professor from Melbourne University said, it was an act of genocide that saw so many Irish people die. There was plenty of food in Ireland but it was being shipped to England. There is no nation on this earth that isn't is tainted by greed. We in Australia are still struggling to love the first people who inhabited this wonder continent!
11470So sorry for your loss You and your family are in my prayers
6222How devastating for all concerned! The world has to sit up & take notice. I will pray for all.

109045I am shocked and horrified by what is going on. I live in Canada, and since this was the second time I have seen a post of a Farmer killed in South Africa , I thought I should take a look on the web and read some news reports.. It's more like a genocide what is happening I can't believe the numbers of farmers and there families being murder and tortured . My prayers go out to all !

I have lived in South Africa for 38 years. Yes I did arrive during apartheid times and yes there were things that were far from right but at least we had some sort of law and order.
I just wish other people from around would read reports as you have done. Yes it is like genocide. Farmers in particular are targeted as they have land which they own.
3335066508My prayers are with them. How sad that our rainbow nation can not live up to its title. If only everybody can accept everybody else, regardless of race or religion, these atrocities would end.
God bless.
