I feel as if I contributed to these deaths."

A community member who lost a loved one, said many people in her area attained their riches through insuring people who were subsequently murdered.

"The person who insured her never contributed towards the funeral. I don't know how they got the death certificate in order to claim it. I think they have connections at Home Affairs," she said.
