South Africa has stories. Strange ones. Dark ones. The kind where the facts are stranger than anything you'd make up. Every episode, one of us researches and narrates a tale of true crime, conspiracy, or mystery, while the other hears it for the very first time. Then next episode, we switch. No sugar-coating. No victim-blaming. Just the full story, told honestly, with the occasional South African "eish."
Three verdicts. Two and a half years. One murder. In Part Two of our story on Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius, we cover the trial that played out live on television, the evidence that didn't add up, the appeal that changed everything, and where Oscar Pistorius is now. We also look at the human cost that never made the headlines: Reeva's family, still fighting for an answer they never got.

The Murder of Reeva Steenkamp - Part 1
Reeva Steenkamp was a law graduate, a model, and an anti-rape campaigner who had a talk to give at a Johannesburg school the morning she died. Instead, in the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, she was shot four times through a locked bathroom door by her boyfriend, Paralympic and Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius. Over two episodes, we go past the headlines everyone half remembers, the cricket bat, the "intruder," the trial on live TV, to who Reeva actually was, what the evidence really showed, and how three separate court verdicts landed on very different answers. Part One covers the two of them and the night itself. Part Two covers the trial, the appeals, and where Oscar Pistorius is now.
Stay safe and stay skeptical.

Stewart Wilken: Boetie Boer
Between 1990 and 1997, ten people were killed in Port Elizabeth by the same man. Nobody joined the dots. Not for seven years.
We tell the stories of the victims of Stewart “Boetie Boer” Wilken. Ten arrivals in one city, in the order he reached them.
Seven of them a court could name. Three of them nobody ever could.
