Rebecca’s words are filled with a mix of sorrow, anger, and a deep longing for justice. She emphasizes the rampant issue of gun violence in South Africa, particularly in the Mabopane and Soshanguve areas, where guns seem to be as common as toys.
“I want justice being served,” Rebecca declares in the video. “They said this is a high-profile case, but I’m looking at the way interviews are being done. I’m wishing that it’s not just interviews being done or the premier or counsellor coming to my house. Let it be that justice is being served.”

Her plea is a powerful reminder that the pursuit of justice should not be reduced to mere formalities or empty promises. Rebecca wants action, not just sympathetic words or gestures. She is determined to see her son’s killers held accountable for their heinous act.
Rebecca’s mention of guns being treated like toys in South Africa strikes a chord with the nation. It highlights the deeply rooted problem of gun violence and the urgent need for stricter gun control measures.
“It’s like slaughtering the way they shot at him,” Rebecca laments. “And I ask myself, how many guns are there in South Africa? It’s like guns are toys here, especially in the Mabopane and Soshanguve area.”
Her words echo the frustration felt by many South Africans who witness the devastating consequences of gun violence on a daily basis. Guns should never be treated as playthings, but as lethal weapons that demand responsibility and respect.
Rebecca’s plea has resonated with countless individuals who have watched the video and shared their thoughts and support. Netizens have expressed their empathy and solidarity, vowing to stand with Rebecca in her fight for justice.
One Twitter user, @bossruuruphus, wrote, “Askies mama. No parent wants to bury their child. Let’s hope the perpetrators will face the law.” The sentiment is shared by many, as the loss of a child is a pain no parent should ever have to endure.

Another user, @tmnlmnkrl, highlighted the disparity in police presence between different areas, stating, “Police are only in the hood to check if people are drinking alcohol, but in white areas, they patrol to protect them. I see more than one police van in my area every single day, all day!” This observation raises important questions about the allocation of resources and the need for equal protection throughout the country.
Rebecca’s strength and determination have touched the hearts of many, as they offer their condolences and support. @mrkarabo_legodi tweeted, “No parent should go through this. Sorry mama. May her request be strongly considered and actioned.” The plea for action is clear, and it is crucial that Rebecca’s voice is heard and her demands are met.
