Mass killings: 'Survivors lives changed forever'
The Citizen|October 10, 2024

So deep-rooted is the trauma they have experienced four weeks ago, that their lives are set to change forever.

The tragedy could lead to severe psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, post trauma symptoms, intense emotions of fear, personality challenges, interpersonal relationship difficulties, survivors’ guilt and complicated grief, Mashego said.

National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola this week said there were possible leads in the mass murder of six community policing forum members at the Godini village of Qumbu, when a group of men opened fire.
