The Gabriella Effect event

The Gabriella Effect is a family-led initiative seeking justice for Nonkululeko Gabriella “Gaby” Ndaba, who went missing on 26 May 2023 and was found deceased on 1 June 2023 in Boksburg. The campaign highlights concerns about alleged failures in the South African Police Service’s handling of her disappearance and investigation, including delays, communication breakdowns, and disputed evidence management.

The initiative also aims to raise funds for a peaceful public gathering, through a BackaBuddy campaign, on 30 May 2026 at Van Dyk Park, Boksburg, creating a civic space for community engagement on gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), policing accountability, public safety, and systemic reform. A petition with nearly 10,000 signatures will be presented to senior SAPS officials alongside community memorandums calling for accountability and change.
