Bikers join the march against GBVF in Ekurhuleni
Biker, Sandile Nkonqa says, as bikers, they too wanted to say that enough is enough.
A group of bikers joined the march against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) in Ekurhuleni, South Africa. Their voices were added to the call for action against the killing of women, as they rode to the Kempton Park Police Station to hand over a memorandum. This action took place following the discovery of 12 women's bodies in Ekurhuleni on Gauteng's East Rand since July this year.
Biker Sandile Nkonqa expressed his pain and determination at the bikers' involvement, stating that they wanted to say "enough is enough." He emphasized that the pain of families mourning the loss of loved ones due to GBVF is deeply felt by bikers, and they want to prevent such tragedies from happening to anyone's family. Nkonqa urged the government and police to be held accountable, as speaking out is the only way to ensure his own safety and the safety of others.
He pleaded for communities to continue holding the government and police accountable until people feel safe in their own homes.
