Additional Biographical Information:

I have just been informed that oom Rudolph Pretorius from Groblersdal had been shot and killed on his farm by intruders in the early morning hours. Oom Rudolph was known to members of my family as a wonderful person with a kind heart who never had a bad word for anyone. He is described as a wonderful and friendly person who laughed easily and always helped wherever he could. I am totally peed off by yet again another senseless farm murder which only makes me more determined by the day to not ever reach out in reconciliation until these criminal activities against decent, God fearing people are stopped. Please remember the family and friends of Oom Rudolph in your prayers when you pray for a better South Africa. At this moment I cannot join you...
