A student at TUT was fatally stabbed by an ex -boyfriend.

-

A 21-Year-old TUT Student, Ntokozo Mayenzi Xaba was discovered dead on Thursday morning in Pretoria with several stab wounds.


Ntokozo Xaba, a deceased student at Tshwane University of Technology, was eventually given an account of what transpired in his final hours by a friend. Police claim that on Wednesday night, Xaba was drinking with companions, including her ex-boyfriend.

The man asked to speak to Xaba alone, so the friends left her. She had many stab wounds to her neck when her companions discovered her the next morning.

The friend claimed that because Xaba had filed an assault complaint against the man the previous year, they were apprehensive to leave her with him.


In the 2022 season, the suspect played for Blue Bulls country districts.

While acknowledging that they "we do not know all the specifics regarding the event," the Blue Bulls issued a statement in which they reaffirmed their commitment to continuing to speak out against gender-based violence in all its manifestations.

Willem Strauss, the president of the Blue Bulls rugby union, emailed Xaba's family his condolences.

"I want to convey my sincere sympathies to a family whose world has been turned upside down — a family who [has lost] a limb from their tree that was full with so much promise of all that is good about life.

The Student Representative Council (SRC) urged the law to act quickly to provide Xaba's family and the campus community with justice.

"The murder of women has outgrown its bounds. Men, or whoever commits the crime, will believe they can get away with it if the law doesn't move quickly.


The high rates of gender-based violence in tertiary institutions worry the council, which claims that it requires immediate response.

    Perpetrators have too much freedom. Both SAPS and the courts need to step up. Our local representatives and governments also need to step up so that this doesn’t become another social media post,
    perpetrators always get away and it's painful and scary for the young girls

How Gender based violance affects childern

 Children who are not physically harmed also suffer from a variety of negative consequences. When a youngster observes family violence, they come to realize that their home is not safe and secure, and they are compelled to start worrying about their own future as well as the future of their loved ones. Compared to children who have grown up without seeing violence in their homes, children who witness family violence are twice as likely to experience psychiatric problems such post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Insomnia, phobias, anger, low self-esteem, and reduced problem-solving abilities are just a few examples of the long-term cognitive, behavioral, and emotional changes that can happen. Children who have witnessed violence occasionally vent their rage on their mistreated mothers. A woman may find it difficult to be emotionally available to her kid if she has personally experienced trauma, despite her best efforts. Contrary to popular belief, children who ha...

Police Minister Bheki Cele engages with Khayelitsha men on GBV and femicide in society One of the issues brought up by the men who attended the Imbizo Ya Madoda yesterday in Khayelitsha, where Police Minister Bheki Cele joined them, was this. The event's goal was to encourage and promote men's active and meaningful participation in the fight against gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), domestic violence, and sexual offenses. The imbizo follows the gang rape of a 19-year-old Makhaza woman who is currently recovering in the hospital after she was allegedly assaulted and raped while returning home from a friend's house by an ex-lover and his buddies. Men from the Harare, Lingelethu-West, Site B, and Makhaza policing precincts made up the majority of attendees during the imbizo. The number of GBV cases in these regions was among the highest. .The divide within the justice system was also criticized by the men. They said that granting bail meant undoing the work that the p...

understanding in depth about gender-based violence.

  Gender-based violence is a phenomenon deeply rooted in gender inequality and continues to be one of the most notable human rights violations within all societies. Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person           because of their gender. Both women and men experience gender-based violence but the majority of victims are              women and  girls. Gender-based violence and  violence against women  are terms that are often used interchangeably as it has been widely acknowledged that most gender-based violence is inflicted on women and girls, by men. However, using the ‘gender-based’ aspect is important as it highlights the fact that many forms of violence against women are rooted in power inequalities between women and men. The terms are used interchangeably throughout EIGE’s work,  reflecting the disproportionate number of these particular crimes against women. ...
