Cassper Nyovest: With everything that's going on, men still find the time to kill women in SA?
As the number of women killed in femicide-related attacks continues to rise, Cassper Nyovest added his voice to the outrage.
On Monday, hashtags such as #JusticeForTshegoPule and #JusticeForNaledi made it onto the Twitter trends list after two unrelated women were found dead, allegedly killed by their partners.
Each morning when you wake up as a woman in South Africa you feel a relief but you immediately think that on the same day there is a woman who didn't make it back to life because of a man who killed her 💔😢 the thought of #JusticeForTshegoPule & #justiceforNaledi makes me numb pic.twitter.com/lZUriVqahM

This isn't the first time the rapper has spoken out against women abuse. He previously told fans that men needed to “unlearn” whatever teachings have made them think that there is ever any reason to assault women physically or otherwise.
“A lot of men have a problem with just digesting that there's no reason a woman should be beaten. All that 'but what if she did this to him' is dead ni**as. You just don't raise your hand on a woman. It's just that simple! You can't beat women! Do not do it! No matter what!”
