The dire situation of violence against women in South Africa, made louder by the recent murder of Karabo Mokoena, has shamed some South African men to start taking action by organizing a march. The hashtage #NotInMyName is now trending on twitter and prominent figures are supporting the march.
But organizing marches should be only the first step. Deeper questions need to be asked about the kind of society that train men to be women-killers. And answers need to be sought for these questions. It is important to note that this disturbing trend of abuse and murder of women is not limited to South Africa. Societies all over Africa and indeed all over the world, need to be put on notice.
