Remembering Nene: Rising against sexual and gender-based violence.

UCT and members of the public have gathered at the gates of parliament to take a stand and rise against sexual and gender-based violence. Members of the public have come out in large crowds to support the cause. UCT has declared today, a day of mourning and UCT activism against sexual and gender-based violence. Many people were sharing their messages of solidarity, UCT SRFC President, Asanda Lobelo and UCT VC Proffessor, Mamokgethi Phakeng addressed the crowd and joined in song.

In Salt River, Thandokhulu School kids took to the streets in song, in plight of the recent violence against women and children. The large mass of protestors has left Parliament and marched towards Cape Town Convention Centre where the World Economic Forum is currently underway. Joining the Silent Protestors of this morning they are now chanting “We want Cyril Ramaphosa.”
