I bought and read Alison Botha's book, and cried tears. One thing that stayed with me, was how, as she pushed her intestines in her stomach and tightened them with her jean jacket, fighting to survive, she managed to write the names of her attackers on the sand, because they kept mentioning each other's names during the attack. That is how the attackers were found and arrested.
She also drew a ❤️ on the sand, and wrote "I love you Mum", for her Mother to at least be left with a beautiful memory of her. 🥰
I subsequently invited her to our Women's Day celebrations event in 2009 when I was working for the South African Civil Aviation Authority. There was no dry eye in the room that day. 😥❤️
A great motivational speaker, a survivor, a symbol of strength of the human spirit. She allowed us to take a closer look at the wound on her neck, which was amazingly barely noticeable. Another miracle was that she was able to have a baby tears later, despite the trauma of stab wounds on her abdomen. I hope she's well and thriving where she is. 🙏🏽💖
This case is so messed up the sister is still in hiding, the witnesses were killed. I was also surprised the MPs disn't ask for the name of the rotten judge that granted the interdict to stop the PKTT from arresting.
Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo revealed to Parliament yesterday that the Namhla Mtwa case was among 121 dockets stalled after a court interdict froze the investigation for a whole year. So NOTHING was moving during that time.
Crime Intelligence took over the probe, but during the forced pause, all key witnesses had been killed, leaving justice delayed.
The docket was later returned to the Eastern Cape and remains part of the controversial 121 stalled cases.
Yerrr this is painful🥀🥀🥀

It takes a lot to do this on live tv in this climate. Thank you brother Dave.

There was a time when they used to come to Nigeria and perform this free surgeries for us.
Nigerians started kidnapping them. They left and never came back. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy.
“no one colonizes innocently, that no one colonizes with impunity either; that a nation which colonizes, that a civilization which justifies colonization—and therefore force—is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased.”
