UCT student Uyinene Mrwetyana was murdered inside the Clareinch post office one year ago on August 24 2019.

On Monday evening, dozens of family members, friends and residents gathered outside the post office holding flowers, candles and home-made posters in her memory.

“I just didn't want her to be forgotten because every other women's name just becomes a headline. I felt that if we did that to Uyinene, we would be doing a disservice to all the women around us,” said Kate Solomons. “We’ve gone silent since the murder and we need to carry on stronger than ever and we need to make a change now,” said Lara Kyle.
