On January 20, 2003, a crime of unparalleled savagery unfolded in a quiet Sea Point house, leaving nine men dead and a nation in shock. The Sizzlers Massacre was not just a mass murder; it was a brutal hate crime that targeted Cape Town's gay community and left indelible scars. Now, more than two decades later, the fight for justice is far from over as the lead perpetrator, Adam Woest, becomes eligible for parole.

This week on Profiler Africa, Paul is joined by acclaimed true-crime author and podcaster Nicole Engelbrecht, whose definitive book, Sizzlers: The hate crime that tore Sea Point apart, is the foundation for this deep-dive. Together, they revisit the horrific events of that night, the complex investigation, and the heroic story of the sole survivor, Quinton Taylor, whose testimony brought the killers to justice. We also feature exclusive interview clips with Quinton, sharing his experience in his own words.

Nicole Engelbrecht shares unparalleled insights from her years of research and interviews with victims' families, exploring the lasting trauma and the ongoing battle against a parole system that many feel is failing them.
