was sung during a #WomensLivesMatter picket in Cape Town on Friday in a protest over gender-based violence, and to call on the police to take more action to prevent it and be more available to victims.

On Friday, it was sung by a group of about 20 people dressed in black to highlight the murders of women such as Naledi Phangindawo, who was stabbed to death in Mossel Bay, and pregnant Tshegofatso Pule who was stabbed to death and hung from a tree.

The SA Youth Council's Western Cape secretary, Zuko Mdai who was one of the organisers of the protest, said he was appalled there were people, particular men, carrying out such senseless acts.

The demands include that the Western Cape police commission publish a report on the ministerial "six-point plan" to prevent gender-based violence, assist victims at police stations and work with local community-based organisations, among other things.

Mdai said they want Phangindawo's murder case moved to the Western Cape High Court from the Mossel Bay Magistrate's Court.
