About this listen
This week on Profiler Africa, Paul Viv and Dr. Gerard Labuschagne sit down with Nicole Engelbrecht – South Africa’s leading true crime voice, creator of the chart-topping True Crime South Africa podcast, and author of multiple acclaimed books.
In Part 1 of this exclusive two-part interview, Nicole opens up about leaving corporate life to build a victim-first media platform, her journey as an author, and the ethics of telling stories of tragedy.
The discussion shifts to one of South Africa’s most haunting school attacks – the Morné Harmse “Samurai Sword” case – and his controversial release on parole. Nicole shares her in-depth research from Samurai Sword Murder, while Gerard unpacks the failures of risk assessment in South Africa’s parole system.
In this episode:
Nicole’s journey into true crime and victim-focused storytelling
The parole controversy surrounding Morné Harmse
Systemic challenges in South Africa’s parole and justice system
How the Sizzlers Massacre shaped Nicole’s advocacy
🎧 Part 2 next week: A deep dive into the Sizzlers Massacre.
