Victims of child abuse overcome a turbulent childhood.
April 10 - As a Hollywood actress and filmmaker, Angela Shelton was living a charmed life, but also hiding a dark secret.

The police were then notified and the man was arrested on the spot. The man then told the police that he went to the owner of the shop to demand his share of R70 000 and a VW Golf vehicle which he was promised for his role in the commission of the murder.
The 38-year-old man from Thengwe village then led the police to a nearby mountainous area where the mutilated body of a woman was found....
The man also confessed that the woman, who is believed to be a Pakistani resident, was killed on Wednesday last week after she was made to believe that she was going to be prayed for in the mountains,” the SAPS said.
