'Stop killing our sister'

Dear children of Azania

This breaks my heart but it must be said anyway.

I have noticed the recent stories these days on newspapers about boyfriends who kill their 'loved ones' for some odd or rather stupidity reasons. In the past two weeks i have read about 5 stories of these incidents. it breaks me apart to see this happening and seeing my sister's lives being taken just like that for what? insecurities?.

last week i read about a guy who shot his baby mama in front of their child, luckily enough she survived, again last week another one stabbed his girlfriend 11 times because he suspected that she had aborted his child. i notice there was no hype about these incidents in our social media, no one talked about it, but had it been someone with poor English or humiliated themselves ngabe itrend(a) even today.

The last one really makes me sick. this one ke a guy told his girlfriend to visit home from Durban (where she is working) to NoNgoma because he 'misses' her. when they met he stabbed and cut her throat. isizathu sikabhuti uthi ubebona ukuthi umama wengane yakhe usezomubalekela ngoba esethole umsebenzi eThekwini ngoba yena engasebenzi, how absurd is that?.

I

think we as women need platforms to address these issues, we cannot turn a blind eye. i challenge every sister to voice out their opinions about this and make a change let's for once create a trend that will not only educate but help millions as well.
