A fresh Controversy has sparked in the killing of Anni Dewani , an Indian Origin Woman who was murdered on her Honeymoon trip to South Africa.
An apparel maker has launched T-Shirt with Message,  “Dewani Tours – treat your wife to a killer holiday” which apparently refers to the killing of Indian-origin honeymoon bride Anni Dewani in Gugulethu township of Cape Town in 2010, for which her British husband Shrien Dewani is facing extradition plans to stand trial after being implicated in the murder.The message uses a popular English font type resembling Hindi script, reminding readers of Anni Dewani’s Indian origins.
“This is a blatant disregard and disrespectful way of showing no remorse over a killing that shocked not just South Africa but the world,” said Gugulethu resident Vusi Ndoda, noting the incident has severely impacted on tourism in the area.
He said he will talk to the Indian-origin businessman Dinesh Dowlath, who is the man behind the idea, to withdraw the clothing, failing which he would campaign for boycotting his stores and organise protests at his businesses.
Dowlath, on the other hand, has rejected suggestions that he was making light of the horrific murder, pointing out that T-shirts with often controversial and ambiguous statements had been the speciality of his stores.
Although agreeing to the sensitivity of the matter, Dowlath told the weekly Sunday Times Extra that there was a market for such clothings as people see the humour in them.
“These T-shirts are for a discerning intelligent market,” Dowlath said, adding that although he created most of the slogans on his T-shirts, this one was suggested by a customer.
Meanwhile the victim’s family has decried the situation, calling on Dowlath to “let decency prevail.”
“As a family, we haven’t even started our grieving because the case is on hold and yet, there are those horrible people out there who see profit in this,” Anni’s uncle Ashok Dewani told the weekly from his Sweden home.
From Wikipedia
Anni Dewani ( born 12 March 1982) was a Swedish-born ethnic Indian Lohana Hindu woman who, while on her honeymoon in South Africa, was kidnapped and then murdered whilst taking a taxi on a slum tourism trip through Gugulethu township near Cape Town on 13 November 2010. Taxi driver Zola Robert Tongo later admitted guilt on the charges of murder in a plea bargain, and was sentenced on 7 December 2010, to 18 years in jail. Two further defendants, Xolile Mnguni, 23, and Mziwamadoda Qwabe, 25, face charges of murder, aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
In his admission of guilt statement, Tongo alleged that Dewani’s husband, British national Shrien Dewani of Bristol, had offered him a sum of 15000 rand to murder his wife. South African authorities are currently trying to extradite Shrien back to South Africa via the British legal system, while Shrien Dewani continues to claim innocence within the kidnap and murder plot. Shrien Dewani’s family described the allegations of Tongo as “totally ludicrous.
