Episode Title: Stalkers
Broadcast date: 13 April 2010

Teaser ...

She was beautiful, kind and an award-winning journalist.

Friday 23 October 2009 was to be a big day for Shadi Rapitso, one of 3rd Degree’s producers. This was to be the day she would wrap up her first big investigation for e.tv’s flagship current affairs programme.

But a day that began with such promise, ended in horror and pain. Shadi was brutally murdered by a neighbour who had been stalking her for months, a man whom she had repeatedly told to leave her alone.

When he finally realised he would never get her, he slit her throat. If he couldn’t have her, no one would.

3rd Degree investigates stalking and its terrible consequences.

3rd Degree is on e.tv on Tuesdays at 21h30.

Is he still on bail??? I don't understand why the SABC did not fire him coz he's sure guilty and the justice system should not waste our money by dragging his case. I know the SABC would say that he did not fail to perform his duties thus they could not fire him, but how about suspending him at least???

this is horrible.. the more you read, the more you get a chill down your back especially when the guy that allegedly killed her was assessed by a pshychologist... and the psychologist seems to paint a pic of a man who was played, and defended his love. but Shadi's friends tell of a sick man who cried and stalked her.. *smh*

when my ex asked for his photos which i didnt take, i was super scared . my friends even the police thought i was overeacting when i said what if he kills me because i felt he was insane.

thing is these killers who are normally depressed act normal to deceive people and i will kill when everyone thnk things are fine.

the book I would suggest that you give to a stalker

If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?
By Cynthia Heimel

Review: says are packed with uncensored advice that's both sensitive and saucy. For instance, Heimel explains what to do to get the right man: "Nothing." The right man will adore you, she writes, even if you have "greasy hair, spinach in your teeth, and your skirt on inside out." Why accept anything less?

people like that have always been around Smirn. for me what's worse is that people who are supposed to be doing right by the community, people who took vows to protect us, your police, your judges etc...they're the ones that are letting us down now. how is it that this man was granted bail after having admitted to what he did? is the fact that he's so delusional he believes he caught his "lover with her boyfriend" now make what he did okay? kanti what is wrong with these people?
