Dear govt, Mzansi wants answers and action over GBV: 'We are tired & our hearts are heavy'

My heart is heavy 💔 How many of us need to suffer such brutal deaths before enough is enough??? We are tired! What more needs to happen for the South African government to take action? I an not okay... WE are not okay😔 #TshegofatsoPule

Tshegofatso’s death is a sign that we live with Animals. We ought to be outraged. It’s bad. While we are fighting racism we need to equally fight gender based violence.

I could go on for days. To summarize: we need more mental health support for ALL kids. We need more shelters for ALL women. We need to tackle misogyny at its base to eliminate gender-based violence. Shockingly, we can do all of these things without taking away anyone’s rights.

Today I woke up with a lot of anger. For ENDLESS gender based violence. Anger for thugs trespassing and potentially endangering us. I’m so disgusted.
