Editor – Re: Marina Kruger’s death and motorbikes. Your recent front page news item on the sad death of Marina Kruger is an excellent article written with incredible compassion and superb presentation of her life and death.
It left me with profound sadness about this person I knew well; a great mother and an artistic person who died suddenly and tragically. A lovely person who died on a powerful motorbike because of a sad moment of inattention.
Still saddened by the story, I then went through my Thursday ritual of slowly working through the Gazette, as I have since 1975.
Then I got to the back page to be confronted by another excellent article.
But it caused me some distress to be confronted by an article glorifying a bike enthusiast and his powerful motorbike.
The writer enthused about the power and speed of this young man’s passion.
I experienced it as a harsh clash with the compassionate story on the front page.
Surely that story could have been held over for a week, or even two, as it is a timeless story with no deadline?
