2014 South African Person of the Year: 2nd Runners-up, Oscar Pistorius and Shrien Dewani

The Daily Maverick's Person of the Year, decided on annually by Daily Maverick staff, does not constitute an endorsement of the individuals in question. It reflects those who have dominated headlines during the year and cast some kind of spotlight on an aspect of South African society or public life. In 2014, our second runner-ups are Oscar Pistorius and Shrien Dewani. By REBECCA DAVIS.
