Clare: The killing of a gentle activist 
The mystery of Clare Stewart’s death

In November 1993, ANC activist and development worker Clare Stewart’s body was found in a shallow ditch in rural Kwa Zulu-Natal as the province sat on the brink of civil war. Amid the ensuing chaos and euphoria of South Africa’s ‘new dawn’, the details of Clare’s killing would stay hidden beneath the surface. This gripping, moving account of Clare’s life and the mystery surrounding her death touches on the fragility of memory, family loss, apartheid’s evils, and the fault lines in our democracy.
