became the latest child victim of gang violence in Lavender Hill<\/a> after he was shot dead along with his father, a prominent gang leader, on Friday 2 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn Saturday 17 September, families who lost loved ones to violence gathered at the Restoring of Hope event held at the Seawinds Community Centre to start a healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frances Van Wyk, an organiser of the event, said the recent loss of young children due to gang violence was devastating to their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe as parents, when our kids reach a certain age, we say that they will become a dentist or maybe a doctor. That is all our hopes and dreams we have for our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd those hopes and dreams Jordan\u2019s mom had for him stopped at the age of 11 which I don\u2019t think is fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChristmas clothes will never be bought for him again. All the hopes and dreams his mother had for him are gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark Nicholson, a director at Rise Above Development, said through their grief parents and families of gang violence are not moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI lost seven family members to murder. All my wife\u2019s brothers\u2019 sons were murdered. All of them. And I cannot even say that I know what you are going through because it\u2019s not a son or daughter that I have lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using his own life experience, Nicholson offers motivational talks at various schools in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI remember receiving a call one night, when I was working a midnight job in Maitland and my daughter called to say both my nephews were shot and killed on the battlefield of Lavender Hill. My heart was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I arrived at the scene their two bodies were lying a few metres apart. Later, I had to go counsel the child of the gunman who shot and killed my nephews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHis daughter was sent to my house for counselling because she could not cope with life anymore and she was only 11-years-old because her father was then also killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His message to victims of violence was to start the healing journey and to forgive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of the boys who was killed was like a son to me. When the shots started going off, he came to live with me because he was afraid to stay in Hillview due to all the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe lived with me for two years and then wanted to return home to Hillview. He went home and a week later he was murdered. A 16-year-old boy shot him through the heart. I was so angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe gangs are using our young teenage children to commit crimes so that they don\u2019t go to prison. I was angry and then opened the Bible to a passage; \u2018There is a time to live and a time to die and there is a time to heal.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t expect anyone to say today that you would forgive your child\u2019s murderer. I want you to go home and start a process of healing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sgt Luqman Adams, a Steenberg Policeman who works with youth in the community, said it was vital to make the right choices in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to say to your children, make the right choices. I come from a generation where our parents hit us to discipline us but I\u2019m not saying that it was a bad thing. Look where I am today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am a police officer. Parents work very hard so their children have food on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that there was a big problem in schools as often violence ends up in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is a big problem in our schools. Because if there is a problem at home where do kids go? They go to their friends at school. They catch on nonsense at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYesterday there was a boy who robbed children at a high school. When we arrived at the school, we had to ask all the questions of why and what the person was doing. At the end of the day, we look at the circumstances of the person on why they are doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMake the right choices and when someone does something to you, open up your mouth and speak up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adams added that often parents become angry with the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe violence that is going on, the abuse of children and also when we as police are trying to explain to parents how situations works then they become angry because they do not understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wendy Jonas, a trauma counsellor at Steenberg police station, said she often sees residents affected by violence including gender-based violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a volunteer worker it\u2019s not about the money, it\u2019s about the passion and what you can give back to your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want everyone to know the kind of support we all offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI work in the trauma unit where I work with victims of sexual assault, molesting, murder cases, suicide cases and sometimes also robbery cases, debriefing and follow-ups. There are a lot of cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen women go through gender-based violence and domestic violence, we are also there to support them and to go through to safe houses and we support children who go through sexual assault and to get them into a safe space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jonas said that drugs in the community remains a major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are mothers who are having problems with their grandchildren or children that is on drugs and that is a major thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are there to support our community We are there to sit and listen to your problems and assist where we can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not only young people affected by abuse and drugs but also the elderly, says Jonas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwo weeks ago, they called me because there was a lady of 65 who felt her home was not a safe space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd she was on the edge of committing suicide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe was so tired of her own child who was bossing her around, he is on drugs and he is selling everything in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe clothes she was wearing was what she was sleeping in and the clothes she was getting up with in the morning, she does not own a second set of clothing. Her son was treating her the same way he saw his father treat his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have to break that cycle so that our children don\u2019t need to go through the same cycle of abuse and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
