Rapper Cassper Nyovest and several other celebrities have shared their outrage at the shooting of actress Thandeka Mdeliswa, allegedly as a result of gender-based violence.
Thandeka died in a Pretoria hospital on Saturday after being shot in Evander, Mpumalanga, last Thursday.
In a statement, her family said the shooting was “another incident of violence against women.”
“The brutality inflicted on our daughter has left us deeply hurt. This is another incident of violence against women (gender violence) that our country has to fight against. We believe that justice will be served ”.
The death of the star sent shockwaves across the country, as hundreds of people filled social media with messages of outrage at his death.
Cassper added his voice to anger and asked when President Cyril Ramaphosa would take serious action to combat the scourge of femicide in the country.
“Every day that I log in to this app, there is a woman or child who is raped, missing or killed. The men who are supposed to be the leaders are too quiet and too comfortable! There’s not much one can do as a citizen, nje. The president must act! It needs to show up! Men must act now! “he wrote on Twitter.
The rapper also posted a photo of Thandeka and asked “how many more?” women had to be killed before those in power acted.
