READER LETTER | Any time is right to speak about GBV

Now we are talking. Malaika Mahlatsi opened up a good conversation regarding the late AKA and GBV. Well done.

According to the latest statistics, 82 people are killed and 169 women are raped daily. There shouldn’t be timelines of when to speak up or not. We are neither safe nor secure in SA. Let’s do it while we’ve the precious breath.

I’m tired of double speak and gushing eulogies when the celebrated die. Funds earmarked for the burial of former president Nelson Mandela were looted. Heinous criminality takes place at the final resting place of our beloved. The less known poor struggle to get a priest to conduct burial rituals.
