On Twitter, South Africans paid tribute to the student, criticised government for its lack of action and slammed the country's continuing high rate of GBV.may her sweet soul rest in peace 🌻Just saw the date and it’s exactly a year since Uyinene’s death. I think this case hit home so bad because it could have been any of us. She was not at a club , she was not with a guy, she left her place in broad daylight to fetch a parcel and never returned home.
I can never begin to imagine what it's like on the micro: people who knew the light she was. To those people: today I return to my knees in prayer for you.A year since Uyinene’s death and I’m sitting her watching a segment on the news about a man who killed and mutilated 5 women with 14 still missing who killed himself in custody. Idk how to describe the pain I’m feeling mourning women I never knew. Nothing has changed.Uyinene was strength.
