– SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN ARE DONE WAITING
Editor – George C April
South African women are asking a simple question:
Mr President, why is it still so hard to pull this country’s women and children into safety?
Why is it so hard to declare Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) for what it truly is – a National Disaster?
We are not asking for anything extraordinary.
We are asking for the most basic human right: the right to stay alive.
For years, the President has delivered emotional speeches. He has called GBVF “South Africa’s second pandemic.” He repeated the same message again at the recent G20 Summit, reminding the world that he once declared violence against women a “national crisis” during COVID.
Yet on the ground, nothing changes.
Women are still dying. Children are still unsafe. Families are still burying loved ones.
So what now?
On 21 November, South African women will take action.
They will shut down.
They will silence the nation.
They will unbury the truth that government refuses to confront.
This is not just a protest – it’s a message:
We have had enough.
