More than 40 people were killed and several were injured on the Cape Flats this past weekend.
Avril Andrews formed Moms Move Justice, an organisation to help other mothers heal, after her own son was murdered.“And then I journeyed with the moms and I invite moms because I experienced what it is to lose a child and you need to pick up the pieces.
