In short, his lust overtook his humanity. He then proceeded to have his fill of her. After the despicable deed was done, he realized he couldn't let her escape and tell what happened, so he took a full measure instead of a half measure.

To me to most fucked up thing about this case is that the guy asked her a day prior to come back, he had a full day to think about this and he still went through with it.

[@THE-id1by]

It's worse than that. He probably held her package back , no doubt stalking her for a period of time. It's clear he planned to rape and kill her from the start. You don't plan to just assault someone who would easily be able to identify you and you don't plan to just assault someone at your place of employment where everyone knows you were the last employee on site. No, he committed premeditated, malice aforethought assault and murder. And to top it off he disposed of her like burning old rubbish. Despicable.

I hope South Africa sees the reforms the women there deserve.

Yeah except the red flag was the post shop closes at 1pm, and he told her to come in at afterhours. No one would ask you to come in to pick up a parcel when the shop is officially supposed to be closed. I'm not sure if it got mentioned in the video, I would have to go through it again.

She had no idea what he was planning to do. It's so scary being a woman and trying to navigate life... you don't know who you can trust and you always have to be on guard. She went to do such a mundane normal thing as go to the post office and pick a package up. Something I've done many times without fail.

Thank you for sharing Uyinene’s story with such care, Adrian. Even though it still makes me go to a very dark and sad place every time I hear it. I never knew her, yet the world feels darker without her in it. She was the essence of zest, youth and potential, and a monster snuffed that out to satisfy his depravity. She had yet to live her best days. What also haunts me is a flippant comment the killer made during his confession to the police. He said (translated from his local language): “That child gave me a hard time, she took a long time to die.” I think of what those final moments must have been like for her and I’m in that dark place again…I usually never wish ill or harm on anyone, but I hope that in prison that monster is subjected to treatment that makes him long for death daily.

I was visiting Cape Town at the time. Roscommon House is very near the gym I attended and the apartment I was renting. This was in the Claremont area. I walked past that Post Office on a daily basis until one day it was cordoned off and had a heavy police presence. It was truly a dark period. I remember the streets being at a standstill, the students at the University of Cape Town were extremely outraged and the general vibe in the city (and country) was terribly despondent. The tension in the air was honestly palpable. I also recall the massive protest that took place outside the Parliament buildings in the city center. There’s some stunning footage of it online taken from an aerial view. Unfortunately, 3 years since visiting it doesn’t appear like the gender based violence over there has lessened at all, but actually gotten worse from what I’m told. This is despite the government pledging to do something about it. Hopefully that changes one day. Beautiful city, I should add. Highly recommend anyone visit if they can.
