In 2012 Angy Peter was bringing up her young children with her husband, Isaac Mbadu, in Bardale, Mfuleni, on the Cape Flats. Angy and Isaac were activists, leading the charge for a commission of inquiry into policing in Khayelitsha. Angy was vocally against vigilante violence and a go-to-person when demanding better services from the police. But when the commission started its hearings Angy found herself instead on trial for murdering necklacing a young neighbourhood troublemaker, Rowan du Preez. The States case would centre on the accusation Rowan du Preez allegedly made with his dying breath that Angy and her husband Isaac set the tyre alight around his neck. Simone Haysom takes us into the heart of a mystery: was Angy Peter framed by the police for a murder she did not commit? Or was she, as the State argued, a wolf in sheeps clothing, who won a young mans trust then turned against him, in the most brutal way? Simone Haysom spent four years meticulously researching this case and the result is a court-room drama interwoven with expert opinion and research into crime and the state of policing in the townships of South Africa.
