Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula has used his Twitter page to inform the country about his daily activities. From posting about #OperationWanyaTsotsi to pics of guns and dagga possession. On Tuesday night, he took to Twitter to share information on gender violence.
This came after his followers on Twitter pleaded with him to do something on child and woman abuse following Karabo Mokoena’s death and other related incidents.
Battling to come to terms with what has been happening to women and children, women online started sharing their experience of abuse, and the hashtag #MenAreTrash trended.
