South African killers now work on behalf of their victim
Easy Nofemela, a onetime soccer star, coaches a soccer team as part of his work with the Amy Biehl Foundation in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1993, Nofemela was part of the mob that attacked Biehl, and he was among four men convicted of her murder. After his release from prison, Nofemela became a community leader and went on to work for the charity that bears Biehl’s name.

Easy Nofemela remembers the evening Amy Biehl died. Coal stoves from township shacks had painted the twilight a sooty gray, signaling a cold winter’s night. Guguletu’s main road throbbed with cars. And a mob of angry young men was looking for symbols of white rule to destroy.
