A tyre placed round his neck, doused with petrol, set alight. An execution from the apartheid era and one generally confined to collaborators. Who would target Pieterse this way, and why now?

Schalk must tread a difficult path between the new regime and the old, between the personal and the professional, between justice and revenge.
