Wow that is incredibly sad news.
These men displayed that they have no character and no sense of morality.

Sadly that's one of the very few cases reported. At one point murder was classified as "died from natural causes" to try and get our violent crime stats down. Even so, our country taking a high speed train away from morality.
... and in our next topic we should start discussing covering statues in feces when we don't agree with some part of distant history (search Rhodes statue on News24) ...

According to your President, you should blame Van Riebeeck who landed in the Cape in 1652! 
I was born in SA and lived there for the first 50 years of my life. It saddens me to see how the infrastructure and respect for law and order is collapsing!

I still don't want to live anywhere else, but things are getting worse. Soweto marched today to show government that they don't want to pay for electricity (Mandela apparently promised that 20 years ago). I also saw that now that we are getting used to Load Shedding they are starting too think about Food Shedding (agricultural land reform) and Water Shedding (over use of resources and pollution). In this rainbow nation there is no treasure at the end of the rainbow.

According to our president corruption is a western concept, hence we don't have any problems with billions of rands going into elected officials pockets every year.

I don't quite know how to respond to this! I always thought corruption is corruption in any culture. It shows you how little I know!

In african tribalism the chief deserves the biggest, best and most of everything.
This leads to almost every person in power (in government or governmental departments) feeling entitled to taking anything they can get their hands on, as long as they have more than the people under them. This includes multi-million rand monthly KFC bills (no jokes).

I don't see how that's relevant...
I also don't care if she was a nun, an engineer, a police woman or any profession you can come up with and if she was 18, 86 or anything in between.
Raping and killing is despicable, no matter who the victim is.
Although these two savages may be swept off the face of the earth for all I care.

About 6 years ago, two men broke into a house in the city where I live, raped and murdered a woman in her mid 50s that was severely mentally handicapped. Winners...

Also keep in mind, bail for rape is R1000, while bail for murder is only R500. It's cheaper to kill the victim instead of just raping her, if you do get caught. Don't forget that the same happens to 6 week old babies. It's just so common these days that it's no longer noteworthy.

R1000 is about US$ 90?! 90 Dollars bail for rape? Including the rape of a baby?! Half that for murder? Unbelievable!

You're not supposed to be able to understand it.
If you could then that would make you at least partially as dangerous.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

This is really a question for developers, but how do you prefer to keep up to date with what's going on in the world of software? Magazines? Websites? Books?
It seems like there's so many sources of information out there one could spend all day every day just reading about new technologies and ideologies and never actually do any work.

"Hello" readers excepted...

But...it's so bulky, and heavy, and you can't take it all with you! So half the time when you need it, or you have a chance to read it you haven't got it there.

Colleagues usually, and when i encounter a problem during programming i often get side tracked to new frameworks and such .
So i guess internet is my major source.
Life's like a nose, you've got to get out of it whats in it!
