I first noticed the shadow near our bakkie around 5am.
It looked like a young woman, seated on a short wall, opposite a crime scene in KwaMashu's B Section.
A trolley bag lay next to her.
Only a short while earlier, gunfire had pierced the air - at a time when most neighbours would have been in their deepest sleep.
Two suspects paid with their lives for allegedly trying to murder a team of police officers.
One law enforcer was hit, but survived.
The woman on the wall appeared distraught.
Her face buried in her small hands; quiet sobs escaping through her fingers.
With daylight steadily nudging away the darkness, a rooster nearby was performing like he was at an audition.
Maybe he noticed my microphone and camera - who knows - but I could still hear the woman in-between the “cock-a-doodle-dos.”
Her body language made it clear she wasn't looking for company but I made a mental note to come back to her when the crime scene activity had settled a bit.
Later, when we eventually chatted just outside the cordon, I noticed she was wearing a beautifully-coloured skirt.
Perched on a step, next to a heap of beer bottles and rubbish, she still looked so well-put together - casual, yet elegant.
But it was in stark contrast to the turmoil brewing inside her.
The night before, she had received a call from a man she was dating - the owner of the house.
He told her there were two men that would need to stay over, and she should let them in and make them feel at home.
She, too, isn't from here - she lives on the North Coast - but was in the city to look for work.
The Zimbabwean men arrived after 2am, dropped off outside the main entrance in a grey Suzuki.
They exchanged greetings in isiZulu but the pair was not particularly chatty with her.
She says she did as she was told; she let the men in, got them settled, and went to bed.
Barely an hour later, police were knocking on the door.
Although she was confused and in a state of panic, she complied with the instructions they gave.
During a search of the house, there was an exchange of bullets after officers were allegedly ambushed.
During our conversation, as she reflected on the earlier events, we tried to find out what line of work her boyfriend was in.
She wasn't really sure.
“Tenders," she guessed.
They've been together since 2020, although he has a wife and kids elsewhere.
Reality started to sink in as she opened up to us - and she began to worry about her phone that had been taken by police as evidence.
Now, there was no way of hearing back about a job she had applied for.
By 10am, the forensic pathologists had extracted her brief house guests from their awkward positions on the floor and transferred them to the steel shelves inside the mortuary services van.
"You can go back inside," one of the few remaining officers told her as the sound of the van's diesel engine faded away into the township.
With that, she was alone again - in a house where the stench of fresh deaths lingered.
No clear plan, no job, no phone - and the “tender-man” had seemingly gone to ground.
