Brenda Madumise-Pajibo, director of feminist organisation Wise4Afrika, said "as a country we are still not winning the war against GBV"—because our actions to combat the scourge are often selective. We don't, for example, seem to take action when alleged abusers are well-known personalities.

"Look how people supported Chris Brown's concert that was held in the country recently. They did not care about the fact that he previously faced GBV charges."
