Chase Your Shadow
“SHAKESPEARE, OTHELLO HIS BED in the police cell was a blanket on a cement floor. Not that it mattered very much. He would not have slept that first night on any surface. Ever since he was a little boy he had lived in fear of criminals, now he knew what it felt like to be one.

It took no mo...re than five minutes for the magistrate to announce that the state would be charging him with premeditated murder. At the word ‘murder’, he broke into wild sobs. His sister, Aimée, who was sitting directly behind him with his uncle and other family members, put her hands to her face and wept.

The name of the bail magistrate was Desmond Nair. Of Indian descent, which would have precluded him from occupying any judicial post under apartheid, he was highly experienced and respected.MoreLess
