The gruesome murder of 20-year-old Asithandile “Kwasa” Zozo Lugalo has left South African women triggered and outraged. Media personality and activist Zizo Tshwete penned an open note to men asking them what it will take for them to stop killing women.Kwasa was stabbed to death in the Eastern Cape on Monday, allegedly by her boyfriend.

In a heartbreaking Instagram post Zizo, who is a survivor of abuse herself, expressed how broken she was to hear about Kwasa’s death and how she hoped men could tell women what they need to do so that men stop ending their lives like they mean nothing.“We have stood as women for too long crying out to be heard on the matter of our safety and our lives. No matter how many of OUR voices stand in unison, you don’t seem to hear us. Now we need you to tell us how to make you listen.

To all men of South Africa – please tell us what is your commitment to seeing change?” she asked.
