My country

Yesterday must go down as one of the blackest days in my country's history. Three churches were torched, by unknown people on motorbikes, lobbing molotov cocktails and home made bombs. There are dips and highs in our lives, and these incidents belong in the lowest of low as far as I am concerned. I was angry, disgusted and shamed by the presumption and cowardice and hate that must have prompted this behaviour. A contravention of all that is fine, and good and upright. A contravention of all purportedly that this country stands for, and all that we should be proud of.

Where do we go from here?
