  "account": "South Africans will gather in Cape Town on Sunday for a solidarity march in remembrance of women who have fallen victim to Gender-Based Violence (GBV). This event is part of a wider national response following the discovery of at least nine women's bodies in Gauteng's East Rand between July and September. The purpose of the march is to increase awareness of GBV and to demand justice as well as safer communities for women. The procession will commence at the Lighthouse and proceed along the Sea Point Promenade to Queens Beach.\n\nA similar memorial walk occurred in Johannesburg to honour one of the victims, Elizabeth Moselakgomo. She went for a run and was later found dead, having disappeared. Participants in the Johannesburg march carried a banner that read, \"Enough. Stop Femicide.\"\n\nPolice have uncovered the remains of the nine women in Ekurhuleni, located east of Johannesburg, over the past two months. Authorities are currently investigating whether these killings are related. The victims in this recent spate of violence are predominantly in their 20s and 30s, some of whom were discovered without clothing and displaying signs of sexual assault.\n\nThe United Nations and Amnesty International South Africa have urged the government to promptly acknowledge femicide as a distinct criminal act.",
