Hope my post reach everyone all over the world!!

8 years ago, on the 10th of July 2015 at just after 4am in the morning, my daughter Rozanne Van der Merwe phoned me, she said my son Braam was trying to get a hold of me on the phone! She said he told her that he was shot! I went in state of shock and tried to phone my son but just got voicemail, my phone rang and i answerd, it was Braam, he phoned me from his work phone! He said: mom they shot me, i don’t think i’m going to make it, i can’t feel my legs and just want to tell you mom that i love you very much! I told him, hold on my son, i’m coming! We load my 2 grand children who was visiting me in the car and we raced to the small farm that my son, his wife an 4 boys lived on! I prayed the whole time and pleaded to God to spare my son! When we arrived there, my son was laying on the kitchen floor, the police were there and we waited for the ambulance! Braam was calm, because they teach them in first aid on the mine that if you stress, you bleed more! Our whole world changed that morning! Braam was rushed to hospital, they stabilized him and we waited for a als ambulans to take him to a bigger hospital because Brits hospital could not treat his severe injuries, he was paralysed! Braam was place in a coma the next day because his lungs collapsed! He was in a coma for 11 days! He told us that he came from nightshift at about 1:30 am, when he got out of his bakkie a pistol was pressed against his head, they forced him in the house and tied him up, they went to bedroom and forced his wife to living room and tied her up also! They kept on asking for laptop and guns! My son told them that there is none, he will give them all the money they have, please don’t hurt his wife and children! He showed them where his wallet was and they took the R250 and their cell phones, they said they are going to rape his wife and kill her, then they will kill him and then they will decide what to do with the children! Braam knew he had to fight! His hands came loose and her shouted to his wife in afrikaans to run and get help! He took a chine knife that was hanging on the wall as decoration, he cut the one (black) guy on the forehead, he then headbud Braam, Braam lost the knife! He shot my son 3 times, one bullet just lightly scraped his forearm, the next bullet went just under his arm by ribcage and shot his spinal cord off, the third bullet missed! His wife fought the other guy outside and got away to get help at neighbour! The guy in the house stand at the kichen sink, foulded arms and waited for my son to die! My son asked him to please go, there nothing more there for them! They left into the darkness! The world must know! FARM ATTACKS ARE REAL! Braam’s hell started that morning! He not only had to fight his attackers, he fought to live, fought to get help at hospitals, our country FAILED my son! All he wanted was to work and provide for his family! His attackers were never cought! Braam passed away on the 6th of October 2019 of a infection! There is thousands of families in South Africa that went through this same horrible nightmare! The world turn a blind eye to whats going on here and our leaders are a bunch of thieves and run our country like gansters! There is NO LAW and ORDER here!
