A relaxed braai turned into a nightmare for a Johannesburg family who continue to be haunted by the nightmarish attack | YouMagazine
“I'm terrified,” says Gary from the Airbnb home where he and his family have been living since the shocking event.
“My wife, daughter, son-in-law, 10-year-old son, three-year-old grandson and mother-in-law were all inside the house when the men overtook me. I fought them like an animal for almost half an hour,” Gary tells YOU.Gary finally managed to make his way to the house and tried to get inside as the men continued to kick, punch and hack at him with pangas. But before he could make his way into the building, one of the robbers’ pangas hit his face, chopping off his nose.
“The men tried to get in, but we managed to shut the security gate before they could get into the house.” The family moved out of their home immediately after the incident and have been living in an Airbnb house ever since. Because neither Gary nor Angelique are able to work yet, they started a Back a Buddy fundraising campaign to cover their costs.Gary and his wife, Angelique Stasio, have been married for 18 years.
