WATCH: Makhadzi moves SA with powerful Venda song honouring fallen GBVF victims

The powerful nationwide march led by Women For Change on Friday, 21 November 2025, may have come to an end, but its heartbeat lives on.

The call for South Africans to rise, speak out, and declare “enough is enough” continues to echo long after the crowds have gone home. The fight is far from over.

Even though GBVF has now been recognised as a national disaster, the fear remains: will the violence against women and children ever truly stop? Each time the country dares to hope, another horrific incident pulls us back into reality. GBVF stands for Gender-Based Violence and Femicide.

Makhadzi speaks out!

For musician Makhadzi, Friday’s march struck deep. It touched a part of her that refused to stay silent. Moved and shaken, she chose to carry the message forward in the way she knows best — through her music. She poured her pain, frustration and hope into an emotional song calling for an end to these senseless, devastating attacks.

Determined to use her voice and her platform, Makhadzi took to Instagram to share a video of herself singing the emotional tribute — pleading, healing, and urging the world to pay attention to this ongoing tragedy.

In her caption, she wrote:

“[sic] Aluta continue …… no expiring date to fight GBV until it come to an end. may God bless every relationship with love and peace than killing each other. May all single people attract partners with love and peace…. we are tired, we are traumatized by being threatened to live our lives freee , we traumatized by being beaten like we are not human.. IT MUST STOP!,” wrote Makhadzi.

Moving video

Now, here is the video Makhadzi shared. In the video, Makhadzi also includes heartbreaking images of women whose lives were lost to GBVF. Among them are Olerato Mongale, Tshegofatso Pule, Uyinene Mrwetyana, and few other fallen victims whose stories continue to haunt the nation.
