A silver-haired Shrien Dewani has made a return to social media after keeping a low profile for over a decade. This comes shortly after the 15-year death anniversary of his bride, Anni Dewani, who was shot and killed in Cape Town during the couple’s honeymoon.
Shrien – who has long been accused of being involved – has repeatedly denied any involvement in her death.
SHRIEN DEWANI POSTS NEW PICS OF HIMSELF
On his Instagram account, Shrien Dewani has posted new images of himself.
In one, the silver-haired British businessman laughs as he embraces a young boy. In another, he appears in a boardroom meeting.
His account was previously used to advertise his business, Evolve Care Group, a nursing and care home company in the UK. Up until now, he has hardly posted pictures of himself.
Shrien often posts on LinkedIn and Facebook – where he has over 1000 followers – as well as his blog.
In 2022, he posted the words: “Not guilty”, possibly referring to claims he was behind Anni’s death.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ANNI?
Just months after the 2020 Fifa World Cup in South Africa, Anni and Shrien Dewani visited Cape Town on their honeymoon.
Tragically, Anni – a Swedish-born engineer, did not return home as she was shot and killed during a “hijacking”, while out sightseeing in Gugulethu.
According to Shrien, who wed Anni in India just two weeks earlier, hijackers Mziwamadoda Qwabe and Xolile Mngeni robbed him of valuables. They forced both him and the driver and tour guide, Zola Tonga, out of their moving vehicle.

The next day, Anni’s body – with a single gunshot wound to her neck – was found in the VW Sharan.
However, in court proceedings, all three men shocked the public when they claimed that they were hired as part of a premeditated murder plan by Shrien.
The men pleaded guilty to murder and were given sentences ranging from 18 to 25 years’ imprisonment.
Shrien Dewani – who had returned to the UK, and later confessed to being bisexual – was extradited to South Africa in 2014 and faced charges of orchestrating the kidnapping and murder of his bride.
However, he was acquitted of all charges due to a lack of evidence. He has maintained his innocence.
According to Judge Jeanette Traverso, this was due to “many mistakes, lies, and inconsistencies” in the three men’s allegations against Shrien.
Annie Dewani’s family has repeatedly appealed to Shrien to tell the truth about her death and his alleged involvement.
