Candice Mama's father was killed by a man nicknamed 'Prime Evil', yet the only way she could find peace was to forgive him.

She began to look for ways to heal herself, and traced the problem back to the photograph that had revealed to her what happened to her father. She had to confront it and make it less toxic, she reasoned, and she began by finding out more about her father's killer.

"It started as a revenge in some ways, because I thought to myself, 'Every time I think of this man it's like he controls me, I get these panic attacks. It's like I'm not in control of my own emotions.' I was like: 'No, he already killed my father and now he's killing me too.' So for me, forgiveness wasn't so much something I could just think about doing, it was something that was crucial for me.

The family began talking to the prison guards, the prison counsellor and a priest, but at a certain point Candice turned round - "and I just saw him, I just saw him sitting there, like he had appeared from thin air.""He looked like he'd been frozen in time. From the pictures I'd seen as a child to who was sitting there was the exact replica of the same person, it was unreal," Candice says.

Eugene told them that he and his team had sent an infiltrator into her father's camp to identify the most radical and skilled activists - the most "dangerous people" within the Pan Africanist Congress - says Candice. Her father and three other men were chosen."What he didn't know was that Eugene De Kock and his team had set up an ambush," says Candice.

"We were both two people that were broken, sitting in front of each other, and so it was a very transformative moment," she says.

asiijaan Forgiveness not easy to attain for sure.

That’s your fault

TBF she’s just spent some of the inheritance on that hair style.

This is a weakness of unimaginable proportion. It goes against all the laws of being human.

What about the white’s being murdered by blacks in SA today? Oh yes, we can’t talk about this can we, because it doesn’t fit the agenda of the BBC - The Black Broadcasting Corporation...

Ye naaaa

I'm sorry but no, I am not impressed by this.

I’m sorry, but no. It’s an eye for an eye for me. Sorry, not sorry 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow. What a woman.

Yup gud for her lyk but am old school old testament red Bible style ah wid na I'd want his bludd

The strength she shows in her forgiveness is astounding. Fair play to her, i know I could never do it. If anyone ever killed my dad I would hate them forever

Good for her to be able to do that. I probably couldn't.

I would too 🙌🏻
