According to Saferspaces.org, “More than half of all the women murdered in South Africa were killed by an intimate male partner.” Tonight's story tragically underscores this fact, as 32-year-old Dorcas Didi Lekganyane, a recent honouree in the Mail & Guardian’s 200 Young South Africans 2024 in the Climate Change and Environment category, was allegedly stabbed to death by her partner.

Joining us  to provide context on the story is our EWN Reporter, Thabiso Goba.
