“What a sad horrific world we live in, this is so painfully sad, it can only be two things rape or planned hit. May her soul rest in peace, and May God grants Gardee family fortitude to bear the loss.”

“I really hoped she was going to be found alive, but it slipped my mind that this is South Africa. It’s the number one crime scene country in the universe with a lenient justice system.”

“South Africa is a crime scene, it's even worse when you're involved in politics.”

“The lawlessness is a flop.”
