She told in an interview with a media person that she could not understand why Anni Dewani and Shrien went to that place in South Africa which was not safe at night. She narrated,
  

  Shrien knew that area was not good. No one really goes there at night. They were staying in Cape Grace Hotel and she would have loved the nightlife around there. She would never have recommended they go to Gugulethu in the middle of the night.”
