‘Killing Karoline’ tells tragic tale Journalist and radio presenter, SaraJayne King, launched her book “Killing Karoline” at Suzie’s Coffee Shop in Kuils River on Saturday 18 November. The book, dealing with issues relating to identity, race, adoption, mental health and addiction, tells the life story of SaraJayne, born Karoline King in 1980 in Johannesburg as the result of an affair between a white British woman and a black South African man – illegal under apartheid’s Immorality Act. Her story reveals the shocking lie created to cover up the forbidden relationship, and the hurried overseas adoption of the illegiti mate baby. “Killing Karoline” follows the journey of the baby girl raised in a leafy, middleclass corner of the south of England by a white couple. It takes the reader through her formative years, a difficult adolescence and into adulthood, as SaraJayne (Karoline) seeks to discover who she is and where she came from.

She also alleges that the winner of the pageant was not chosen legitimately by the tallying of the points awarded by the judges, but rather by means of favouritism on the part of mall management. Tamryn Whitton, spokesperson for Zevenwacht Mall vehemently denies this. “The centre manager, marketing manager and external events coordinator played no role in
to be announced, all the judges were taken to a separate room where they were shown on a laptop who the top three were. “I was not in agreement with who the top three were, and I suppose I should have said something then,” he says. He explains that pageant protocol is usually that the scoresheets are collected from the judges and tallied, and the winner is then announced without the judges ever leaving their table or being in contact with the event organiser.

However, a reliable source whose identity is being protected and who was closely involved in the selection of the winners, says he has heard many conflicting stories regarding the pageant. He alleges that during the second round of prejudging, which involved the interviewing of the participants, mall management specifically selected five girls they wanted to see in the group of 31 girls, later cut to the 12 finalists. He also alleges that when the winner had
