Across the Durban South, residents took to the streets in demonstrations that ranged from lying down for 15 minutes in symbolic standstills to holding placards outside the police station to a motorcade throughout the community, with many adorning black and purple in honour of the women lost daily to femicide.
Community groups, families, children, NGOs and local leaders joined hands to show that the fight against GBV is not solely a woman’s fight, but a collective stand in demand of justice, safety and change.
