1/3 Tonight I deleted the video I posted of the scene where Terrance Tegg was murdered this week. Usually I ignore comments and even though I don't agree with people asking for removal, I decided to write a piece about why these videos SHOULD be shared for the world to see.
2/4 To those not wanting for it to be shared, please don't ask why mainstream media and the international arena are saying nothing, because you wouldn't cause an outrage for Terrance and the other 22 000 people that will be murdered in South Africa before 2023.
3/5 To those wanting it to be censored, your wish has been granted. Please don't ask why the world doesn't act because your censorship has made Terrance a statistic and NOT a person. His story will not be told, he will just become a number because you caused no outrage.
4/6 I think too many people in South Africa are comfortable with seeing the numbers like 22000 murders p/a and shy away when confronted with reality.
5/6And to every dull individual who calls it crime porn or violence porn, get a life. If you think people like me, @Paratus2014, @RomanCabanac, @Joe_Emilio_ , @Abramjee etc like sharing these things, think again. It makes me sick!
6/7 If this should ever happen to me, I want each and everyone of you to share ot with the world. (My family grants this wish). May you think of all the faces of the 22000 people that will be murdered in SA this year, make sure they don't just become a statistic to you.
7/7 The biggest reason for the state of South Africa is not government or the ANC, it due to apathy and silent diplomacy. The fact that we don't show the world what happens to good men like Terrance Teg and innocent little children like Chantal Makwena.
