Karen Landi: Keeping hope alive, even in times of tragedy

Loading player...

On Thursday 27 September, Karen Landi became a crime statistic. Apparently, 1 out of 10 hijack victims are taken and assaulted. That day her number was up. Her story is heartbreaking, tragic and somehow inspiring. She refuses to be a victim of this crime. She refuses to change the way she sees our country and our people because of 3 men who chose to viciously beat, assault and terrorise her. She believes those 3 men do not make up South Africa and she joins the Good Things Guy on Jacpod to tell us her story of survival and hope.
