“This is a very dark period for us as a country. The assaults, rapes and murders of South African women are a stain on our national conscience,' the president said in a statement.

Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa has finally broken his silence on the brutal murders of UCT student Uyinene Mrwetyana, female boxing champion Leighandre Jegels and Northwood Primary pupil Janika Mallo, saying South Africans should hang their heads in shame.

The president confirmed he will be meeting with the SAPS leadership later on Tuesday to be briefed on steps being taken to deal with the violence. Mrwetyana went missing after leaving her off-campus residence in Claremont on August 24 and was last seen in Mowbray. Her disappearance sparked outcry on social media and vigils being held for her safe return.
