Young mother Surinda du Preez stood transfixed, barely able to
breathe. A single thought went through her head: I'm looking at the
devil. She was staring straight into the eyes of a man whose
alleged crimes had earned him the title: Modimolle monster. She was
staring at Johan Kotze. It was 10 January 2012. "I've never seen
anything like this, that a person can do this to another human
being." - Renier van Rooyen, prosecutor. 3 January 2012 is a day
the community of Modimolle in Limpopo, South Africa will never
forget. On this day, Johan Kotze did the unthinkable. Kotze not
only orchestrated the gang rape of his wife, before torturing her,
but also murdered her nineteen-year-old son. His unthinkable
actions earned him the name Modimolle monster, and have made him
infamous. Love is War tells the sobering story of the workings of a
twisted mind, and the weighty consequences of actions. Maughan
takes a walk on the macabre side, through an in-depth analysis of
Kotze's story. From his life before the horrific events, to
coverage of the trial, Maughan leaves nothing uncovered. While the
trial continues, and the authorities try to ascertain whether or
not Kotze is sane, his now ex-wife tries to deal with the fragile
remains of her life, and South Africa holds its breath in the hopes
that justice will be served in what is certainly the most
talked-about case of the year.
