Cape Town - Around 50 mothers who have lost children to gang violence and crime gathered on Saturday for a day of healing and reconciliation in Hanover Park.
Overwhelmed by the shared grief of losing a child unexpectedly, mothers and grandmothers held and consoled each other as some openly wept.
Personal accounts were shared, and poetry was read followed by dancing and singing after the tears had been wiped. The mothers were treated to a meal and dessert at Crystal High School in Greenturf Road.
