As a journalist who has been writing opinion pieces for more than 15 years now, I have had my fair share of threats. People have called me names and criticised me, they’ve threatened to physically beat me up, and there have been occasions where they would touch on my family and children too. But I never took these things seriously.

This isn’t just about politics anymore; it’s about a complete breakdown of what it means to be a decent human being.
