Cyril Ramaphosa praises Siya Kolisi and Temba Bavuma in GBV address

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on South African men to take a more active role in combating gender-based violence, specifically highlighting the positive influence of national sports icons.

It is time for the men of this country to follow the example of leaders like Siya Kolisi and Temba Bavuma, who have consistently used their platforms to speak out against the abuse of women and children.

The President emphasized that the fight against gender-based violence requires a cultural shift that must be led by men, urging them to hold one another accountable in their daily lives.

We need more men to stand up and say that violence against women is not part of our culture and will not be tolerated in our homes or our communities.
