  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Eerie Side Podcast, we share the harrowing and inspirational survival story of Alison Botha. Born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Alison's life took a tragic turn on December 18, 1994, when she was kidnapped, raped, and brutally assaulted by Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger, who left her for dead. Despite being stabbed over 50 times and nearly decapitated, Alison miraculously survived, thanks to a combination of quick thinking, sheer willpower, and pivotal interventions from a veterinary student named Tiaan Eilerd. After a long recovery, Alison identified her attackers, leading to their conviction and life sentences, though both were controversially released on parole in 2023. Alison rebuilt her life, becoming a motivational speaker and author, and giving birth to two children despite medical odds. Her story is a powerful testament to human resilience and the will to survive against unimaginable odds.
