#SandtonShutdown: Activists promise more protests

The Shutdown Sandton movement is vowing to hold more protests against gender-based violence if their grievances are not dealt with. Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the JSE on Friday demanding big companies open their pockets and join the fight.

They say it cannot be business as usual while women and children die on a daily basis. Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised to announce a plan to deal with gender-based violence, next week.

We support their cause and we are going to reinvigorate our commitment to make sure our country takes a really strong stance against gender-based violence,” Ramaphosa said.

We will announce interventions that we think everybody should make, government, the private sector, communities, various associations in our communities. This for us is very important,” he said.
