Famed funnyman Tommy Joseph is not laughing, following the shooting of his son Neketo.
Now, I commiserate with Tommy, him being well known for laughter and good times. Losing a love one is never an easy thing though knowing what the crime situation is, you can expected the unexpected, i.e. you could expect anyone to be a victim.
But in reading the article in the Express, I noticed an anomaly.
But that point aside, as a man with a baby (as the article says) [the Indian in me cringe when I ask] why is that man wearing that value of item, when he could be saving that for a nest egg for his child's future?
As many people point out, there is a definite difference in mentality between Indians and Africans, and this is a classic example right here.

Neketo Joseph, a theatre attendant employed in St Clair, was shot dead during a robbery attempt on the Eastern Main Road, D'abadie, around 10.30 p.m.Did I read right? A $10,000 gold chain? Look, I don't know how much a theatre attendant earns, but when I worked in the health sector, something with a cost like this was definitely out of the reach of most theatre attendants, unless they were independently wealthy.
The younger Joseph was shot once in the waist by the bandits, who then snatched his $10,000 gold chain from around his neck.
