Pretoria - Panic and fear has engulfed homeless people in Pretoria where a nocturnal prowler is attacking and viciously killing them in their sleep.
Vusumuzi Makhanya, who recycles plastic and has made the park his home since 2016, said he lives in constant fear for his life. "The streets are rough, when you leave your valuables, at least you must have people that you trust and have formed bonds with. If you don't know anyone, you'll always be a victim of theft," he said.
Others said they were undeterred by the recent incidents. “Whoever is killing people is not going to stop us from enjoying this city gem,” said David Oliphant, who was there with his partner. Hlatshwayo says he works as a car guard and he is familiar with a lot of people that work around the area. "I make an honest living and it's not much, so it doesn't make sense because this person won't benefit from my death.""That person must make sure we don't find him first because we going to cut his head. You can't go around killing people for no reason, people should die on their own," Hlatshwayo said.
