He stated that the People’s March is a platform to raise awareness and demand action against this heinous crime. He called on all men to stand up and be allies in the fight against gender-based violence.
The People’s March is not just a one-day event, but a call to action for all South Africans. Mbalula urged everyone to continue the fight for a better South Africa beyond the march. He emphasized that the ANC is committed to addressing the challenges facing the country and called on all citizens to hold the government accountable.

As the saying goes, “United we stand, divided we fall.” Let us stand together and show the world that South Africa is a nation that is united in its pursuit of a better tomorrow.
