Killings and assassinations are becoming a habit in South Africa because the law is too lenient to them. I vote we bring back “Death panalties” to the ones found guilty. I mean Kids are starting to kill as well because they know that they will get away with it #RIPMarkBatchelor pic.twitter.com/4Aoub8Rt31
