On October 7, I was at the scene of an accident in which an elderly woman, a mother and possibly a grandmother, was killed on Main Road in Wynberg, Cape Town.

She was going about her daily business and walking on a pavement, where all pedestrians should feel safe from passing traffic. Little did she know of the events that would culminate in her last moments, her final breath.

I wondered what was going through the taxi driver’s head when he was driven off in the back of a police van, knowing he killed someone’s mother As the forensics team pulled back the foil sheet, I wondered what her last thought was and if she felt fear or pain in her final moments. I could not help thinking of my own mother and how easily it could have been her lying there.
