Melinda Ferguson, who is also the author of Inside the Belly of the Beast: The Real Bosasa Story and the Oscar Pistorius story, Oscar: An Accident Waiting to Happen, says she didn’t rely on ‘anyone’s blessing when writing the book’.

AKA trial: Accused says the R800 000 isn’t related to AKA’s murder‘As a journalist, it is not key to get the blessing of the families but rather to tell the story as truthfully as possible. While I encouraged participation from all parties, I wasn’t relying on getting anyone’s blessing when writing the book,’ she told

‘I’ve been through my own dark journey, and the moment that I learned that Anele had “fallen”, I wanted to know what had happened in that room.’ She adds that she was alerted to videos and pictures of AKA and Anele’s altercations on social media. ‘I have never worked harder on a book. I went down a rabbit hole of research, reading everything I could about the couple, speaking to people, and going on his social media.’

‘While writing the book I heard her voice screaming in my dreams, and I wanted to remind people of her life. We have to have these difficult conversations.’
