Day 1 - Protest Spaces, Protest Faces.

Her name is Uyinene Mrwetyana. 

She was only 19. She was in her first year at UCT. She studied film and media. 

Uyinene Mrwetyana was taken from her Mother's; The women of Africa. 

Her life was taken by a man who worked at the post office. 

She was killed and raped, in that very post office. 

There was a police station across the road.

The following protest occurred on the 4th of September, 2019 - Outside The South African Parliamentary Headquarters, Cape Town City Centre.

An unofficial protest against Gender-Based Violence in the wake of Uyinene's death was in motion and movement two days after the conviction of Uyinene Mrwetyana's murderer and rapist.

The collective body had no agenda as to planning nor proceedings for the day. 

The World Economic Forum nor the South African' governing body and police were aware of our coming that very day. 

The collective body of protesters stood in firm solidarity. To which I saw predominantly women of color and public school children gathered in shared, collective solidarity in unison and protest.

--
For the next day was the 'official' national protest against Gender-Based Violence. 

They asked us to sit in front of our President. 

We did not listen to them.
