"I told you it would be shocking. But how do you feel? How do you feel about that knife that took our lives?
"I do not ask you to pity my life. I have no need of your pity. Instead, I ask you to think about that knife that took the life of my beautiful little boy.
"Now, think about another knife that may one day take your life or the life of someone close to you.
"My name is Tagbeu Lebato. Think lives not knives."
