Anton was born in South Africa and grew up as a racist, but deep in his mind he had feelings for black people which he suppressed for a long time. Anton Pretorius first met Ramonda after she was imprisoned for participating in a protest. He returned every day to see her and freed her when he gave in to his obsession with this black woman. He then made her disappear via paperwork/bureaucracy and brought her to his mansion were he kept Ramonda hidden from the public circles. Pretorius took more and more risks to perpetuate his compulsion over the years. He sent photos to T'Chaka to make it appear that Ramonda had run off with another man.
