Nasty C is not staying quiet. The acclaimed South African rapper took to Instagram on Friday, 18 September 2026, to voice his frustration over the country's persistent gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) crisis, directing his anger squarely at those in positions of political power.
His post came in the wake of a deeply disturbing discovery: nine women's bodies have been found across Ekurhuleni since July 2026, reigniting national conversations about the safety of women and children in South Africa.
Nasty C calls out government over GBVF response
In his post, the Zulu Man with Some Power hitmaker wrote:

"We're gonna be stuck in this loop of crime & hashtags for a very long time until someone breaks it. And that someone is in the office where they make decisions on how this country is run. If those guys really cared, we'd see real change & our country would be a much safer place for women, for children, for everyone. We need them to stand up & do right by our women & our country. Until then, the cycle continues. This is exhausting. 💜"
The frustration behind his words was unmistakable. Rather than placing the burden on ordinary citizens, Nasty C pointed to the gap between political rhetoric and meaningful action on the ground.

The post drew a range of responses from followers, with opinions divided on where the responsibility truly lies.
@nazlipetersen said:
"Thank you for using your platform."

"Realest thing you've said...No gender wars statement 💯 Protect Women and children and Everyone 💜💜💜"
@sensei_slixk argued:
"It's up to us to organise and make those changes, from the bottom up."
Not everyone agreed with Nasty C's framing.
@usernamewasalreadytaken_ pushed back:
"Stick to making music. Crime is a culture issue. Focus on raising your kids right, and you will get good politicians, good wives, good husbands, good police. Don't pass the responsibility of fixing the country to government."
@bigbroplz also chimed in with a pointed observation:
"Bro said 'everyone' instead of 'men'...We need a safe space for women, children and men."
