    I want to appeal to all young people to please stay away from violence. Too many young people are dying and too many of these mothers are dying of broken hearts

    This is a shocking incident in Bolans. Our thoughts are with the man who was shot, and we pray for his full recovery. The police must act with urgency to find those responsible. We cannot allow gun violence to become a regular part of our communities.
