The two men raped her and left her for dead with slit throat and 36 knife wounds in Port Elizabeth 18 years ago, and are among 5,000 prisoners who could benefit from new legislation.

The Independent Online reported in January that the legislation, which came into effect last year, enabled any prisoner sentenced to a life term before 2004 to apply for parole after serving at least 13 years and four months.

This meant that Botha’s attackers Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger could be back on the streets 17 years into their life sentences for her rape and attempted murder.  

Beeld and Volksblad reported that Botha, 45, told a Women’s Day function in Bloemfontein at the weekend that she had delivered the petition to the parole board and was waiting to hear what would happen to Du Toit, who is being held in the Grootvlei prison in Bloemfontein, and Kruger, who is in C-Max prison in Pretoria.

Alison Botha’s life story has been told in a book “I Have Life” of which 80,000 copies have been sold.

Oh hell No. How many have these criminals that have been released gone back and done worse crime. Has the Govt not taken stats of this. We have too many criminals on the streets right now that need to go into prison and releasing those in prinson to the streets will not make our lives any easier.

candilious: You are right, they look like serial killers, evil. Worst is, they probably picked up knowledge in jail on how to get away next time.

This is one strong woman,and I hope she won't have to face her assailants.These guys should never get parole,because what they did was inhumane and cruel.

I remember this story so well. What an horrific pair of monsters they are. There is no way in hell they should EVER be allowed back onto the streets again.

As for Alison - chin up little sister, you are a true inspiration.
