Justice for Namhla Mtwa

The Issue

Namhla Mtwa was shot nine times on 21 April 2022 while she was in her car, after arriving at her home in Mthatha. She had gunshot wounds to her upper body and was declared dead at the scene. Just like that, another womxn is gone! South Africa has a serious problem in not taking GBVF seriously. We always need some form of trigger event for them to realise that we need proactive actions. We need psychosocial interventions, well trained professionals (police/forensic nurses, etc.), behavioural change community programmes and faster turn around times. 

Its ENOUGH now! Arrest Namhla's killer and do better.
