Red. Black. Purple. Marching. Posting. Speaking.

The colour never mattered. The collective voice did.

Today was powerful. But GBVF will not end because South Africa spoke up for one day.

The real test starts tomorrow.

In less than two months, 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡 have now lost their lives in the Kempton Park area.

And what are women told?
𝗕𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁.

But women are already vigilant. We share our locations, check number plates, change our routes, phone each other until we are safely home and teach our children precautions that should never have become part of simply being alive in South Africa.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲?

At some point, the conversation has to stop being about what women should do differently and start being about what South Africa must do differently.

So tomorrow, 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟭𝟴 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, I am asking 𝗠𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡 across South Africa to 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗱.

Wear red to say that we refuse to become accustomed to another horrific headline.

Wear red because the safety of women is not a women’s issue. It is a South African issue.

You don’t need to march or attend an event to participate. You simply need to use the voice and platform you already have.

𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡 #𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗦𝗔

📣 Wear something red.

📣 Take a photograph.

📣 Post it on your social media.

📣 Ask your family, colleagues, friends and businesses to join you.

📣 Share the poster.

Imagine opening your phone tomorrow and 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗘𝗗.

Not because wearing red will solve this crisis, but because silence certainly won’t.

Let’s make ourselves impossible to ignore.

𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗗. 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗗. 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞 𝗨𝗣.

𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 = 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮.

On 20 November 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) would be classified as a National Disaster.

That was almost ten months ago.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙?

Women are still being murdered. We are still being told to be more vigilant. We are still sharing our locations, checking number plates, avoiding certain places, changing how we travel and making sure somebody knows when we get home safely.

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚?

A declaration means very little if South African women cannot feel the difference.

Not everyone can march. Not everyone can attend a protest. Not everyone can stand outside

𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙙.

This 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟭𝟴 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, I am asking South Africans to wear red to symbolise the blood of women being spilled in our country.

📣 Men and women.
📣 Businesses and families.
📣 Schools and universities.
📣 Sports teams and restaurants. 📣 Offices and communities.

1. Wear red.
2. Take a photograph.
3. Post it on your social media.
4. Ask your colleagues to participate.
5. Ask your friends and family to join you.

Imagine opening social media on Friday and 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙙.

This isn't about a political party. I am not telling anybody how to vote.

I am asking South Africans to speak up.

Because enough really is enough now.

👠 WEAR RED.
🎯 POST RED.
📣 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝘼𝙆 𝙐𝙋!

💔 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟭𝟴 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

Safer women = stronger South Africa.

On 20 November 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) would be classified as a National Disaster.

That was almost ten months ago.

What has changed?

Women are still being murdered. We are still being told to be more vigilant. We are still sharing our locations, checking number plates, avoiding certain places, changing how we travel and making sure somebody knows when we get home safely.

How much more vigilant would you like us to be?

A declaration means very little if South African women cannot feel the difference.

Not everyone can march. Not everyone can attend a protest. Not everyone can stand outside Parliament.

But almost everyone can wear red.

This Friday, 18 September 2026, I am asking South Africans to wear red to symbolise the blood of women being spilled in our country.

Men and women. Businesses and families. Schools and universities. Sports teams and restaurants. Offices and communities.

Wear red. Take a photograph. Post it on your social media. Ask your colleagues to participate. Ask your friends and family to join you.

Imagine opening social media on Friday and seeing South Africa turning red.

This isn't about a political party. I am not telling anybody how to vote.

I am asking South Africans to speak up.

Because enough really is enough now.

WEAR RED.
POST RED.
SPEAK UP.

Friday, 18 September 2026.

Safer women = stronger South Africa.

I am tired of women being told to be more vigilant.

We are vigilant.

We share our locations. We check number plates before getting into cars. We phone each other on the way home and when we get there. We avoid certain places, certain roads and certain times of night. We carry panic buttons and pepper spray. We teach our children rules for staying safe that we never had to think about as kids.

How much more vigilant would you like us to be?

When five women are murdered in one area in two months, the conversation cannot keep returning to what women should have done differently.

South African women deserve better policies, stronger enforcement and a criminal justice system that makes perpetrators afraid of the consequences, rather than women afraid to leave their homes.

This is not about party politics. I don't care which box you tick on a ballot paper when it comes to this.

I care that women are being r***d, assaulted and murdered in our country, and we have become frighteningly accustomed to the statistics.

We shouldn't be.

Speak up! Ask harder questions. Demand accountability. Keep talking about it when the headline disappears.
Because safer women = a stronger South Africa.

The best partnerships are rarely born in boardrooms. They are built over years of working together, getting to know one another, sharing ideas, sometimes disagreeing, solving problems and, ultimately, discovering just how much you care about the same things.

That’s exactly what happened with Joani Johnson Jacobs , J A C Q U E L I N E F E R N S , Marlene Reddy-Ribeiro , Matapa Maila , Cindy Nell-Roberts and me. We’ve worked together for years, and somewhere along the way colleagues became friends, trust was earned, and our shared passion for creating meaningful opportunities for South African women became something much bigger.

So I’m incredibly proud to share that I am now involved in Miss Supranational South Africa, alongside my partnership in Mrs South Africa.

For me, this isn’t simply about adding another crown to the portfolio. 👑 It’s about what becomes possible when women who trust one another decide to build something powerful together.

I couldn’t be happier to be doing it with these powerhouse Queens.

Thank you for including me in this adventure, Joani 🙏👑

Let's go SUPRA South Africa! 👑🇿🇦

Impressing people is easy. A title, a big client, an interesting association, a clever speech - lovely. Then everyone goes home.

​What actually matters is what remains after you’ve left the room.

Not what people thought of you while you were in it, but what changed because you were there.
​
❓ Did you make them braver?
​❓ Did you open a door they didn’t know existed?
❓ Did you challenge someone to think differently.
​
Being impressive gets you noticed.
Making an impact means something transformed because you showed up.

​What would you like to be known for? 👑
