Armed robbery

On Wednesday evening four men kept my parents and my two brothers at gunpoint in their own home.  They tied them up and took my mother through the house in order to loot.  They took two cars and loaded all the stolen goods in it.  One of the vehicles was found.  They weren’t hurt physically but they’re all scarred emotionally – please pray for them.  It was a hectic week.

    To hear about this was a massive shock to me. My thoughts go out to you and your family. Just know, in which ever way we can assist please don't hessitate to ask. The trauma that one experience after something like this is not easy. You and your family means so much to us and thus feel so angry that something like this had to happen to you.

    I beg the International readers to put pressure from outside South Africa on the goverment about their way of turning a blind eye on crime. Anarchy is accepted and the criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens. So much more can be done!! Help stand up against CRIME that is blatantly ignored. SO PLEASE HELP US IN SA!!

    Ek kan net vir julle sterkte toewens!! Weet nie hoe ek kan help, maar moet asb. nie huiwer as ons met iets kan doen om te help. Weet julle is sterker as ek en daarom weet ek julle gaan ander kant uit kom. STERKTE!!!!

    Lord in your mercy help us to forgive, and be your light and salt. I pray for restoration of peace for this family that they can know that you are their shield and defender. Father intervene in the increase of violence and crime and resore your values to the peopel of SA. Amen
