President Cyril Ramaphosa has used his address to the nation on gender-based violence to praise the leadership of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and Proteas cricket captain Temba Bavuma.

The way in which these two men have conducted themselves, both on and off the field, serves as a powerful example to all South African men. They have shown that true strength lies in respect, integrity, and the protection of those who are vulnerable.
