"They took away the best thing in my life," she said.
Van Heerden was also shot and as she leaned against a wall bleeding, she said a man came out of the house, looked at her, laughed and ran away.
The trial will continue on November 24 because defence counsel are busy with other cases. - Dudu Busani
