The minute I heard of this, I thought of you, @Joffersmyboy. Mark Batchelor gunned down by two men on a motorcycle. An assasination? Gee … this stuff is getting scary. Not saying there is any connection, but wow! I hope this isn’t SPORT related. https://t.co/qDTXjHHKuh

We have turned out to be a very violent country, I am scared to walk at night and during the day because I don’t know whether I will be safe or not. Mark Batchelor and many many South Africans that are killed daily should be a wake up call for the police & intelligence.

Sad, whether he was connected to the underworld or not, he certainly didn’t deserve to be murdered like this. RIP #MarkBatchelor. https://t.co/GJusTfK6Nf
