In the "Have You No Shame?!" category: thieves in Johannesburg, South Africa, stole a minibus from Marang House, an institution for diabetic kids. Marang House gives children from unstable homes a safe place to live if they are diabetic or awaiting kidney transplants. The minibus was donated by the Royal Netherlands Embassy just three weeks before the theft. It was used to transport the kids to and from hospital appointments. The children in question are all aged between eight and fourteen. The diabetic residents spend time at Marang House in order to learn diabetes management skills such as giving themselves insulin injections. Life at the House is a way to avoid putting young children in hospital for long stretches at a time, where they tend to become depressed, says a spokesperson. Sadly, the founder of Marang House was murdered last year.
