As the small girl’s location was sought, the nation held its breath as posters with appeals for assistance to locate her were shared on social media. She was later discovered to have been murdered, raped, and dismembered. According to Vhonani Phetla, a junior researcher at the University of Johannesburg’s Institute for Pan-Africanist Thought and Conversation, statistics show that a war is being waged on children in the nation.

Civil society organisations highlighted that the country had become one of the most violent outside a war zone due to the steady rise in gender-violence cases.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP27, will bring together world leaders and climate activists in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from November 6 to November 18. On Wednesday, ahead of COP27, the Southern African Faith Communities held a vigil in front of Parliament. The Environment Institute of SAFC organized the vigil. At COP27, nations band together to take concrete steps toward meeting the global climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement and convention. Speaking to Radio Islam International, SAFCEI’s Operations and Corporate Engagement Manager, Wayne du Plessis, stated that the goal of the vigil was to push for the closure of the outdated Koeberg nuclear power station and a just transition to renewable energy that will benefit all of Africa.
