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

Charmaine’s story is, therefore, a perfect ..read more
