On Sunday the country went to bed with the sad news that Fezikile Kuzwayo – known as Khwezi – had died.
The death of the woman who accused President Jacob Zuma of rape 10 years ago, and was made to suffer for having the courage to take the matter through the criminal justice system, was expected to be one of the dominant stories of the week.
The outpouring of grief and pouring in of salutations were accompanied by the inevitable re-running of the trial.
