When it comes to the fight against gender-based violence, can faith communities be part of the solution? Religious groups have a powerful presence in many South African communities — but what role should they play in challenging harmful attitudes, supporting survivors and preventing GBV?

Yesterday, we had a frank and sometimes heated conversation about what’s driving Gender-Based Violence and Femicide in South Africa.

But behind the debates, interviews and ballot-day reporting is a cost we rarely consider: what does it take to keep millions of South Africans informed — and what does that responsibility mean for the public broadcaster?

It’s now 27 days since six South Africans went missing in the Nepal floods, and none has been found. Among those still searching for answers is Linda Govender, whose daughter Terricia was among those who disappeared. Linda recently travelled to Nepal to search for her daughter and has since returned to South Africa. The search, however, continues.

Kempton Park has been rocked by a series of horrific killings, with five women murdered in the broader area in just the past few days.

Thankfully, he survived, and remarkably, none of the passing vehicles struck him.
