In December of 1994 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 27 year old Alison Botha thought she was being carjacked. It turned into a literal fight for her life. Her attackers, Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger, would rape her, disembowel her, and nearly decapitate her before leaving her for dead in a ditch on the outskirts of town. Alison had no intentions of dying that night, or letting them get away with what they had done to her. Against all odds, Alison survived and saw that her attackers were sent to jail.
