'This past year has been very painful for many families because many women of various ages have been subjected to various forms of abuse.'
“There is nothing unusual about what Uyinene did on the day she met her untimely death. She simply went into a post office. It could have been any young woman - and she could have gone anywhere to run her daily errands,” she said.
Tshiqi said many men who committed similar crimes did not see women as human beings. “So what drove him to what he did? My take on it is that he simply saw an object he could use for his own sexual gratification. Did he see a daughter, a friend, a niece, a sister? We can deduct from his despicable conduct that he didn’t see a human being.” Tshiqi challenged families to play a more active role in educating boys about equality between men and women. “We should condemn every form of violence and abuse. Young men need to learn from an early age that their male gender does not give them any superior rights compared to the female gender,” she said.
