DE DEUR – A peaceful march along the R82 in sent a resolute message to the community: enough is enough. 

Organised by I & S Motors, the event brought together employees, management, and local supporters in remembrance of the women and children who have lost their lives to gender-based violence (GBV).

Dressed in unified black and wearing purple ribbons (a symbol of GBV awareness, remembrance, and support), participants walked from Malherbe Street to the intersection near Chicken Licken on Old Johannesburg Road.

The atmosphere was defined by respect, unity, and hope.

Demonstrators marched not only to honour those silenced by abuse, but to amplify the voices of survivors still living with its devastating effects.

Spearheaded and strongly championed by I & S Motors directors Lerato Tsolo and Adele Louw, the initiative highlighted the company’s commitment to social change. 

The message from I & S Motors was clear: every woman and child deserves to live free from fear, violence, and abuse.

Their involvement demonstrated the importance of businesses and communities taking a stand and using their collective voice to raise awareness about Gender-Based Violence.

More than a walk, the gathering stood as a powerful declaration of solidarity. 

A reminder that every life matters and that community action can drive change.
