In the weeks following Olorato Mongale's brutal murder, several South Africans have united in the fight against femicide and GBV.

Mongale was killed while out on a date with an unknown man, and her murder has left many women questioning their safety.

As her loved ones now face the reality of her death, Masechaba Ndlovu commented on the brutality of Olorato's murder, saying it touched her:

"This particular story will stay with me for a very long time. My thoughts and my prayers are with Olorato's mom. Ma'am, I have the utmost respect for you and your strength. You shouldn't have to be going through this, but you're going through it and you're dealing with it, and you're alive somehow."

Masechaba went on to commend Mongale for unknowingly solving her own murder by sharing her location with her friends. She also commented on her alleged scuffle with her killer:

"Clearly, she was a fighter because my assumption is that she fought. She didn't just solve her murder, but so many other cases. When were we going to know about these other crimes? Why does it take a woman dying and huge publicity to focus on what is wrong?"
