  • Summary

  • Author Christine Mason Miller (Desire to Inspire) says: “At any given moment, you have the power to decide that this is not how the story going to end.”, but unfortunately in South Africa, if we speak about murder, then for most women, that is how their story is ended. What’s worse? A large portion of women have lives taken from them by the men they trust most.


    Nearly 50% of all women who were murdered in South Africa were killed by their intimate partners. If you think about it in reverse, if husbands and boyfriends did not kill their female spouses, half of those who died by homicide may have been alive today to listen to this episode. There is clearly a war on women and their bodies in South Africa- but what is behind it? Does the criminal justice system aid in the perpetuation of femicide, or does it aid the fight against it?


    Back again with us this week is Bulelwa Adonis, as she sheds light on the scourge of femicide plaguing South Africa today, and why despite all the efforts to bring an end to it, it seems to be getting worse. What hope do we have to end it once and for all? Join us today to find out.
