On Friday, the 6th of April 2012 the farm called Naauwhoek, 8 kilometres from Griekwastad town centre, had fallen silent. The chatter of the family that lived there had ceased. The television blared on, but those who had been watching it just moments before were now dead. The computer screen had yet to buzz off into sleep mode but its operator too, lay slumped nearby, no longer breathing. Just before 19:00 in the evening, a white Isuzu bakkie screeched to a halt in front of the Griekwastad Police Station. The driver rushed into the police station and dropped to his knees screaming, “You m ..read more

I chose Charmaine’s story to cover
