The rate of crime in South Africa continues to grow with no hopes of it being managed or stopped.

With a lot of people sending condolences to the family, South African DJ Lamiez Holworthy commented that she would like to pay for the young boy’s tombstone.
“I have no words. My heart breaks not only as a mother but as someone who is proudly Pretorian. This can’t be our norm- Ka hana. I’d like to pay for Ditebogo Jr’s tombstone.”
Gift also took time to appreciate Lamiez for the thoughtful gesture, he shared a post on X (an app formerly known as Twitter).
