About the Book
On 22 November 1977, Robert Smit and his wife Jean were brutally murdered in their Springs home. A high-ranking member of the National Party, Robert Smit was involved in probable sanctions-busting activities. Told by Liza Smit, daughter of Robert and Jean, who was 13 years old at the time of the murders, this is a book of two stories, the story of the life-long and destructive impact the murders had on the lives of those left behind, and particularly and very poignantly on that of Liza�s own life.
