Dimitri Tsafendas, a deranged government worker who lived in fear of his life of a 'giant tapeworm' in his stomach.
Tsafendas was legally a white man but his dark complexion meant he had been isolated from white South African society. He left South Africa at the age of 18, when he first complained about hearing the tapeworm, and travelled the world for 25 years. He became fluent in 8 languages, but at nearly every country he visited, he was either deported or escaped from psychiatric treatment. He returned to South Africa as an illegal immigrant but that didn't stop him getting the job as a messanger boy at the House of Assembly in Cape Town. He admitted that he had killed Verwoerd because he hated his racial policies, and he had been trying to get reclassified as being 'black'.

Dr. Verwoerd was the Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 to 1966 and is regarded as one of the key architects of apartheid. He implemented policies that systematically enforced racial segregation, restricted the rights and opportunities of non-white citizens, and consolidated the power of white minority rule. Verwoerd's government also intensified the forced removals of black communities and oversaw the establishment of the Bantu Education system, which aimed to educate black students in a way that would perpetuate white supremacy.
