|December 08, 2025
“THE 13th of December would’ve been her birthday, she was so excited for her 40th birthday.

She had big plans and she wanted a party.“The law didn't protect her.”
Stander said the family was taking it one step at a time.
“They take every day as it comes, as hard as it is, life goes on. There are two children to be raised, not that she’s forgotten but you can’t sit in a corner and cry whole day and night, as hard as it is.”
She added that the family was praying for swift justice so that Duiwel would remain behind bars because the family faced the harsh reality of never being able to visit her or hear her voice again.
“Duiwel must stay where he is because that is where he belongs. He shouldn't have come out.’He stabbed somebody before and when he came out, he did the same thing, he took somebody’s life. He should rot in jail.
