Gone are the days
when Phillipi was the centre of the lucrative wood- cutting business, shareholder croppers and bridal-wear dressmakers.
Yet murder was a long time coming, the last bastion of safe and sustainable farming and crop sharing……
GANGSTA ‘S PARADISE – THE WALKING DEAD
in the last 20 years has turned into a gangster’s paradise, with no respect for decent and noble working life.
Father-of-three Thulani Manqoyi, 53, was shot dead by two men while sitting in his car at the Heinz Park Primary School in Philippi. Two suspects had approached the Grade 6 maths teacher at around 7.45am yesterday – 21 September 2021- and opened fire, with pupils scattering in fear, before fleeing the scene on foot.
People have no idea what it means and how much it costs to raise up a mathematics teacher in Mzansi or any qualified professionals for that matter, neither what it amounts to healing the wounds of families that must live with the violent chaos and loss .
In Mzansi essentially life is cheap. Essentials skills eroded, resources usurped, people are staying alive living by the barrel of the gun.
