At the time, Lourens was still in Bronkhorstspruit, just outside Pretoria, reeling from the shock of losing his father. “He passed on in 1993, his family did not know who was responsible for planting the bomb that abruptly ended his precious life. He was 38 years old, and ironically Lourens turns 38 as well this year.”Meanwhile, Lourens said he only later understood what the flag he held onto for too long could symbolise to South Africans who bore the brunt of apartheid.
Hatang conceded that hate speech in all its forms and manifestation is killing our country and alluded to the Stellenbosch urine matter.
