LAMENTATION FOR SLAIN LIBERATION HERO, DR MOKAE

BLACK TOWNSHIPS PLACES OF MURDER & DEATH

Garankuwa, Pretoria – So these marauding black thugs will break into your house for your large screen TV, music system, laptops and other electrical appliances

This was a case of robbery, theft and murder in the townships. It is a way of life.

The townships are not places of safety, now. Never have been. It is war zone out there.

They bomb out cash in transit vehicles in broad daylight, armed to the teeth with sophisticated machine guns

Alas, if they find you at home. It is an immediate death sentence.

Gomo is soft-hearted but a heavy weight in stature. They broke into the house to find a man that looked them in the eye.

In a moment of panic, they froze and they wrestled for the gun. Then, they shot him on both arms

When they failed to disarm him, they shot him in the chest, too.

And thus the black giant collapsed onto the floor, to lie in the pool of his own blood.

They say when the hyenas come, you must do as you are told: give up your wallet, produce your phone, open bank app to transfer money

If not they abduct you to drive to the nearest ATM.

When done you are lucky to be released to the darkness of the night.

So, they will drive you to a place no one knows, shoot you in the heart or head and leave your body forsaken

They had no business to do this to Dr Gomolemo Mokae, to kill a man in his own home.

He was a self-effacing and humble black giant.

He loved and lived for black mental liberation and freedom; a man of the word.

He was a medical healer, too. And this is what happened to him: to die by the gun.

Horror of all horrors. Unbelievable. Shocking. Heart breaking.

How can a man find peace, dead or alive, in this brutal country?
