Cape Town â Gugulethu residents took to the streets yesterday, protesting against gender-based violence (GBV), which claimed 48-year-old Brenda Mqela as the areaâs latest victim.
It was previously reported that Mqela died after dogs were set on her. It is now alleged that she was stabbed by her boyfriend, who owns dogs.
Mqela, the daughter of one of the founding members of womenâs right advocacy group Ilitha Labantu, died at her boyfriendâs home.
Ilitha Labantu founder Mandisa Monakali said it was traumatising to hear stories of women being killed.
