Jani Allen made a name for herself as a columnist for the Sunday Times between 1979 and 1989. Her work as a journalist became so popular that she was voted “the most admired person in South Africa” in 1987. Her close relationship with Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging(AWB) leader Eugène Terre'Blanche was also highly publicized. In 1989, an assassination attempt saw her flee the country to London.
