City Mayor Hamilton Green is calling on religious, civil and political leaders to create conditions that would avoid such happenings as the Lusignan massacre and bequeath on children a harmonious society of tolerance, justice and decency supported by high moral and spiritual values.
In a release issued in the aftermath of yesterday’s tragedy, Green said, “Unless we recognise that historically, violence flourishes and sometimes is justified if there exists an environment of injustice and hubris.”
He said that it was with great anguish that he received the information of “the loss of lives”, which he said came in the wake of recent killings in the Buxton community, a once quiet and stable society.
Offering profound regrets and sympathy to the sorrowing families, relatives and community on behalf of his family, councillors and citizens of the city, he said that all responsible leaders must pause and together analyse the genesis and motive force which allows such a tragedy to take place.
