If men actually understood consent, they'd understand why we #BelieveSurvivors always, while they ask rape victims for PROOF! @WomenProtestSA

@NandiphaMagaqa @Sipha_Betela That video is thee worst. I remember the VC telling us at yet another #endrapeculture protest that she is not only the VC but 'ndinguMama as well".....ibiphi inimba kaMama when those young womin stood there. Instead they rushed for damage control of the Uni's image.

GBV has been declared a national crisis in South Africa. Clean up the Crime Scenes that are campuses!

[#TheTotalShutdown✊ @Lolo_L]

@MandelaUni has noted the silent protest and will FOLLOW UP! Good and well, however, is this how far we must go every time, in order for us to be heard and taken seriously?

@WomenProtestSA This is so 'as usual' tho!Why do womin have to put their bodies on the line before you 'follow up'? How many times have you 'followed up' when young womin protest on your campus? How long is @MandelaUni going to 'follow up' instead of doing best from the onset?

[Mandela University @MandelaUni]

Chancellor Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi @GJFras says that they have noted the silent protest and message by students at the graduation ceremony (referencing GBV) and has committed to following up.

[#TheTotalShutdown✊ @Lolo_L]

'South Africa’s sentencing regime rests on a “fundamental premise that the trial judge [is] vested with the discretion to decide on a suitable sentence.”' Who was the Judge in the case @MandelaUni that found 2 of it's students guilty of rape and sexual harassment? #WeWantAnswers

[#TheTotalShutdown✊ @Lolo_L]

This is why GBV has been declared a national crisis by @CyrilRamaphosa, because nothing is done about it and perpetrators are treated like the victims while survivors are silenced.@MandelaUni #WeWantAnswers @WomenProtestSA

@WomenProtestSA @MandelaUni @NalediPandor How is it that @MandelaUni allows students they have found guilty of rape and sexual harassment through their internal process, are not reported to the powers of law? Are universities now the law? #SibongileMuthwaWeWantAnswers

[#TheTotalShutdown✊ @Lolo_L]

@WomenProtestSA @MandelaUni @NalediPandor what is being done about the fact that for YEARS young womin in varsities across South Africa, year after year, protest against rape culture and for their safety? #SibongileMuthwaWeWantAnswers

[#TheTotalShutdown✊ @Lolo_L]

Every year, young womin must protest and plead with management to take their safety seriously...for how long must they protest when they should be studying? Can VC Sibongile Muthwa, of @MandelaUni, furnish us with answers please. NMU IS A CRIME SCENE! @HeraldPE @SABCNewsOnline

[#TheTotalShutdown @WomenProtestSA]

In light of the recent signing of the Presidential Declaration @PresidencyZA on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide, we would expect @MandelaUni to treat this matter with the urgent attention warranted by its contribution to enabling the perpetuation of a national crisis.

[#TheTotalShutdown✊ @Lolo_L]

NELSON MANDELA UNIVERSITY, HOW LONG WILL YOUR CAMPUS BE A CRIME SCENE? HOW LONG WILL YOU PROTECT VIOLATORS? HOW LONG WILL YOU IGNORE SURVIVOR'S CRIES? HOW LONG WILL YOU NOT BELIEVE HERS?
