• The Western Cape Education Department acknowledged the Bergview College assault case
• Women For Change demanded the government to announce the current GBV crisis in the country to be a national disaster

South Africans came together on the first day of hearing about Cwecwe’s bizarre assault story and planned mass protests.

Nobody is sure who the perpetrator is, not even Cwecwe herself, as it is alleged that she was drugged.

SA calls for national shutdown 

Mzansi was disappointed after reaching another dead end, with many conspiracies spreading online. Minister of Police, Senzo Mchunu, last week, informed South Africans that the principal of Bergview College had finally taken the DNA test.

Things became chaotic when Cwecwe’s mother was told that the principal had not agreed to get his DNA sampled, and later revealed the names of the brigadier and police who confirmed the news. Mzansi is now planning a national shutdown as children return to school today.

Many parents are scared of sending their children to school amid rising assault cases happening on school grounds. Mzansi urged for an emergency national shutdown to bring awareness to the issue.

After Cwecwe's story went viral, South Africans called for more investigations at her former school, Bergview College, since the incident allegedly occurred there. The principal initially resisted being investigated and protested the idea of having his DNA sampled.

The caretaker and the principal were the first suspects on the list and it was reported that both of their tests did not match the samples collected, which caused an uproar among social media users and the rest of South Africa.

The Western Cape Minister of Education, David Maynier, said:

“We are deeply disturbed by the incident that has been reported from the Eastern Cape. I accepted a memorandum on Tuesday afternoon and will refer it to the relevant national departments for action. We are aware that the Eastern Cape Department of Education, as well as SAPS, are investigating the incident.

“We urge them to ensure that the perpetrator is found and faces the full might of the law. Our children must be able to learn in a safe environment when at school. While this incident has occurred in another province, I urge anyone who becomes aware of an incident of abuse or assault in a Western Cape school to report this immediately to SAPS and to our Safe Schools hotline on 0800 45 46 47 toll-free for assistance.”

Women For Change speaks up for GBV victims

Women For Change demanded that the government announce the current GBV crisis a national disaster and presented a huge custom-made coffin that was lined with victims’ pictures:

“We carried the coffin to the steps of the Union Buildings to make it clear that we are burying more women than ever, and we are tired of mourning. We want this country,y and especially our government, to see the weight of their inaction. As for our memorandum, we have given the government 30 days, until 10 May, to respond with concrete actions and commitments, not just words.”
