“We Are Not Safe”: Mrs Bullock’s Emotional Rant on Being a Woman in SA Goes Viral

• South African TikTok star Domonique Bullock, known as Mrs Bullock, posted an emotional video on 14 September 2026 about women's safety in SA
• Her rant came as five women's bodies were discovered in the Kempton Park area over two months, sparking national outrage over gender-based violence
• Bullock called on SAPS and the government to take action rather than advise women to be more cautious

Domonique Bullock, the beloved South African TikTok teacher known as @deemrsbee, filmed an emotional rant from her car on 14 September 2026 that struck a nerve with women across the country. Her message was raw and direct: being a woman in South Africa has become unbearable.

"Being a woman in South Africa is one of the hardest things you can do," she said. "You are not safe. Not in your homes, not in your estates, not on the street, not at your gym, not the mall."

What sparked Mrs Bullock's video

Her frustration was fuelled by the discovery of five women's bodies in the Kempton Park, Rhodesfield, and Olifantsfontein areas of Gauteng between July and September 2026. The most recent victim, a fifth unidentified woman, was found on the same day Bullock recorded her video. All victims were Black women in their 30s who showed signs of sexual assault. SAPS has since formed a dedicated task team to investigate, though officials say it is too early to confirm a serial killer.

Bullock, a Pretoria high school English teacher who went viral for her classroom dance videos, directed her anger squarely at authorities. She said women were already doing everything possible to protect themselves, including changing their daily routes and constantly tracking their phones, and that telling them to be more cautious was not the answer.

"How about jumping on the media, SAPS, the government, the presidents, and telling men that if you touch a woman, make examples, do something," she said.

She also criticised how women are treated when they report crimes.

"How many times have women gone into the police station and been laughed at because it's too much admin to open up a case...?" she asked.

Mzansi women share their own stories

South African women flooded the comments on Mrs Bullock's TikTok with their own experiences:

@_georgie_xoxo_ wrote:

"Smile so you don't anger anyone. But don't smile too much or you'll draw too much attention. Genuinely living a life of fight or flight always."

@Gogo Rhapu said:

"I have an open case since Dec 2025; my J88 is still at the crisis centre. He was arrested then released. I don't know why. The detective isn't helpful. They don't care."

@Anne-Marie asked simply:

"And if we fight back... What then?"

@Ngcamaseko reflected:

"I can't believe our entire lives are survival mode and yet we ride for our country."
