South African artist Ciza participated in a nationwide demonstration opposing gender-based violence, sharing footage of himself marching among thousands dressed in black. The musician emphasized that violent abuse has devastated countless families across the nation, with numerous mothers, sisters, friends and relatives lost to the epidemic.
Ciza stressed that men must actively challenge the cultural conditions enabling such violence and urged male communities to maintain accountability. He expressed hope for collective healing from trauma while advocating for improved safety across South Africa.
His involvement coincides with intensified activism addressing the country's severe GBV statistics, as demonstrations spread through major metropolitan areas and citizens demand official recognition of the crisis as a national emergency through widespread social media campaigns.
