Dear Colleagues,

Please pray for the Rev Thembeka Pitoyi and his family, as they are dealing with a tragic death of his elder brother, Bangile Pitoyi. Bangile and his family were attacked at their home in Gugulethu, Cape Town on 23 June 2018 around 18:00. He was fatally shot. His wife was shot in the arm and had a fracture. His last born daughter is struggling for her life at the Red Cross Hospital ICU.

The funeral arrangements will be announced, as soon as the family has decided. We pray that the Almighty God will comfort the Pitoyi family at this time of sorrow and need. Let us continue to pray against crime in our societies.
