"...the Hugos were alerted to the break-in by their squawking parrot." The poor parrot - which is probably only used to sheer nakedness - was shocked to see a dressed human being entering the house. Nothingfulness of body coverings.

With that much ammo I would suspect that they were a bunch of gymnophobics/nudophobics out to eradicate the source of their fear.

Clearly a racist attack, and not a criminal action.

Why shoot at unarmed people? To rob them or to kill them?

Jane, South Africa, look what people do with their freedom:
Highest murder rate in the world.
Highest rape in the world.
Most serial killers in the world.

SA has become hell for the vulnerable. Big problem is our poor policing and convictions in the criminal justice system - too many criminals running around who should be behind bars.

Niek Hugo managed to grab his pistol and fire back at the intruders, who fled.

Why did he not grab his pistol and shoot when the parrot first made a noise?
