A sad day in our community

"If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life,
you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes
or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve."

~ Anthony Robbins ~

A matric pupil, who went to school with a Ninja sword, stabbed and killed a 16-year-old grade nine pupil before stabbing two gardeners who were taken to hospital in a serious condition. His younger brother grabbed the sword after he had thrown it to the ground.

The boy had painted his face black and wore a black balaclava, resembling the drummer of the band Slipknot. He said Satan told him to kill the children.

Jnr 1st was in the same Technical High School a few years back and Jnr 2nd have a friend who was in the same class than the boy who died.

Kids and local residents had started laying bunches of flowers outside the school gate. The TV crew was there most of the day, broadcasting live.

I know it has nothing to do with me personally, but it touches all of our lives, somehow...
