"Charmaine Pietersen visits the cemetery as often as possible, always bringing a shovel to keep the dirt in place on top of her son's grave. Here, her granddaughter, Chelsea, is by her side. On December 21, 2014, Ashwin Pietersen, Charmaine's son, was killed outside their home in Manenberg by a rival gang. Charmaine says, ""The years go on and the months go on. We know he's in a safe place. I don't need to worry where Ashwin is at night if they start shooting or if there is violence in Manenberg. We can sleep peacefully now. I'm glad for Ashwin, for where he is now.""<br> Plumsted, January 2016."
