South Africa is living through a war, it may not be officially declared a war, but a war in the scale of violence people are facing every day. Around 58 people are murdered every day. That is roughly 400 lives lost to murder every week.
These are war-level numbers. We cannot normalise them simply because there is no war officially declared. South Africans are living in a war zone.

Every couple of years, a missing woman’s case makes headlines and shocks the nation. It brutally reminds us of the reality of GBV and how dangerous it is to be a woman in South Africa. But what hurts most are the countless names and faces that never even make the news.
Carry a mace spray, don’t wear earphones, wear loose fitting clothes, don’t make eye contact, don’t run this route, share your location, don’t carry your phone, don’t run early in the morning, avoid running at night, don’t run alone. Basically stop living or men will kill you. Ok
I’m so angry that we can’t do normal things without the fear of ending up dead. Whether it’s a jog, going on date, collecting a parcel. We exist as prey.
How many times must we ask how many more ?
rest in peace to all the victims of the kempton park serial killer. may justice be served. women are not disposable. the state has a duty to protect us and it is failing. we want names, arrests and an end to this, not another statement. no more thoughts, no more prayers.
[BREAKING] The body of a fifth woman has been found in the Kempton Park vicinity. This follows the discovery of four bodies in the area over the past two months. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403.
