I HAVE watched in awe how women get abused by men over and over again and how we rant about it for a day or two, before quickly moving on to the next hot topic.
Not so long ago,we were calling men ‘trash’ following a spike in women being killed and dumped like trash by men in various parts of the country. Remember Karabo Mokoena?
Justice for #hannahcornelius & #karabomokoena !!! RIP young ladies!!

For the past two days, social media has been abuzz with the ‘Manana’ incident – a video circulating which apparently shows Deputy Minister for Education, Mduduzi Manana violently attacking a woman for calling him gay.
Women are often called names by men but they don’t go around beating men.
Those are double standards right there….nothing can justify beating up a defenseless women like that.
The police minister’s silence is also deafening…

A number of women have since come forward claiming they too have been attacked by Manana – and silenced after the fact.
Meanwhile, Manana has apologised, but is it enough?
Just as I watched the #MananaAssault video, I came across another disturbing video dubbed the ‘KFC video’ where six men attacked a powerless woman and her husband.
How shameful!
How did we arrive at this point?
When will this END?
