Anton Steenkamp was a special human being and one of the very best Africans I ever came across

But he wasn’t just a worthy, hard-working and brave reporter others relied on. He was one of us, us meaning a band of wayward renegades and idealists, Don Quixote and Hunter S Thompson fans. Anton was also a fun guy. He had joy in his soul. We stayed in touch. He was a family man, but he was also a biker, a traveller, an adventurer. He never lost an ounce of the progressiveness he had when we first met, and he never lost faith in our democracy and our society’s inherent resilience and love for freedom. He believed deeply in the judicial system, and every one of his colleagues over the years would tell you how hard he worked at being a good judge.
