3 powerful celebrity reactions to violent crimes against women

Some of Mzansi's most popular celebrities have added their voices to the outcry against the rise of femicide in the country.

Cassper Nyovest, Hulisani Ravele and Black Coffee are just a few of the celebs who have come out strongly against the string of violent crimes.

The issue of femicide and abuse of women has been cast in the spotlight over the past two weeks as the nation was rocked by a spate of brutal incidents.

Rapper Cassper Nyovest, DJ Black Coffee and presenter Somizi Mhlongo are some of the men that have come out to condemn the murder of Karabo Mokoena and the abuse of women.

Black Coffee also commended former Generations actor Mandla Hlatshwayo, who was shot and killed earlier this week trying to help women during a mugging. The men asked other men to re-evaluate their behaviour and encouraged them to join in the #NotInMyName march.
