Brighton Mhlongo and Willard Katsande are set to feature in the launch of a play that brings awareness to the issue that is gender-based violence.
The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa recently called on men to do better after crime statistics, for the period 1 July to 30 September 2021, revealed that more than 9 500 people were sexually assaulted in the form of rape.
According to the minister of police Bheki Cele, most of the victims were female and violated in their own homes by people they knew and trusted.

The former Orlando Pirates and Kazier Chiefs duo have grasped the concept and are making a big impact as they seemingly take part in the play called "The Voice". The show is presented by the SELLO MAAKE KANCUBE FOUNDATION ABAFAZI BENGOMA".
