Any librarian tasked with reading this novella before shelving it could be forgiven for classifying it as a work of “fiction”. After all, the story of Inge Lotz – and the chilling, haunting way it ends – bears all the hallmarks of a dark, eerie fable. But here’s the twist: it’s not fiction. It’s a true story that transpired in 2005 in the increasingly infamous, high-profile murder hotspot of Stellenbosch in South Africa. Corrupt members of the police and the prosecution in SA, embedded within the captured justice system, remain the primary obstacles preventing Inge from receiving the justice she so rightfully deserves. This marks the first decisive step toward making that justice a reality.
