'She feared for her life'
"TAKE care of your little brother and yourself, and you will be okay,’ were the last words Hermalise Wenn from Elsies River said to her 16-year-old son, who tried to save her after she was allegedly stabbed and tortured by her boyfriend, who was out on parole despite a protection order against him.
The suspect, Clinton “Duiwel” Moses, made his first appearance at the Goodwood Magistrates’ Court yesterday where he heard the matter was postponed to October 28 for a formal bail application.
The family described Moses, the father of her three-year-old child, as jealous and manipulative and that their relationship was fuelled with violence. They said Wenn had tried to leave him only to make up with him again.
Moses is currently out on parole after serving a sentence for stabbing a young man from his own community.
Outraged activists and civil groups have expressed their disappointment in the justice system, saying that Wenn, who was a healthcare worker, had been failed by the system.
