The Overberg town of Bredasdorp lies about 180 kilometres away from Cape Town and some 30 kilometres north of Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa.
“We still think of her a lot, and it brings bad memories, because she was our little one, and she was always around us, and suddenly she was ripped away brutally and we still can’t make peace with it…Every year on 2 February, we think about that, and we talk about her,” said Brooks. Speaking to Eyewitness News from prison, Kana stressed he wasn’t responsible for the crime. He said his conviction rested on hearsay, with no direct evidence linking him to the murder.
Following Anene’s murder, Blade Nzimande, who was the Minister of Higher Education and Training at the time, opened a multi-million-rand skills development center in Bredasdorp, named in the teenager’s memory. Two years after Anene’s death, five-year-old Kayde Williams disappeared while walking to her grandmother’s house one Sunday. Her body was found among bushes in the area, days later. The child had been raped and murdered.
Shortly after the little girl was found dead, the body of a man police suspected to have been linked to her murder, was found hanging from a tree in a cemetery in the area. Since then, there has been no other potential suspects identified by police.
