NTHABISENG SELEPE: “I hope the mother and father of the young boy can heal because it's hard to lose a child. I think the family should get counselling and motivational talks and as for the killers -they must be hunted and found and face judgement.”

FOLLOWING the death of a four-year-old boy who was shot during an armed robbery on June 15 in South Hills, the COURIER asked readers what their thoughts are on the matter.

LORRAINE SOBHOZA: “What happened to Tshepiso is bad. No child deserves to die the way Tshepiso died. I just can’t think how a living and breathing human being can be so trigger happy in public not thinking of the consequences.”
GIFT NDLOVU: “The boy was too young to die this way. I sympathise with the family. It must be hard for them losing their son in a gruesome act like this. I hope the criminals can be caught and get arrested. What they did is inhumane.”
RYAN WEPPDMAN: “I feel sorry for the family. I hope they stay strong and put their trust in God and let Him take charge. People don’t think these days. How can a normal human being just hurt such an innocent child like this? I hope the perpetrators can be found and be locked away for many years.”
NEO KOTWLWANE: “I just hope that the robbers can be caught and be sentenced to life because what they have done is unforgivable. Everything now is in the hands of the police. My message to the family is to keep strong and try to stick to God.”
