Black Monday south africa black flag

South Africans want the Government to acknowledge their lack of assistance in farm murders and crime in general across SA. This is Black Monday…

 

Last week we discussed the matter of Black Monday and the importance of stopping all murder in South Africa. In the post, we shared some scary statistics but we also shared tips on what to do to be proactive every single day and not just on one day. You can read that very important post here.

The Black Monday movement has had equal parts praise and criticism but the facts remain South Africans need to stand together in order to protect the country.

These are some of the images from Black Monday…

“There’s a huge pile-up on the R59 near Redan in the Vaal Triangle, where some 180 vehicles are blocking the road. It is a demonstration against the SA government’s lack of action with regard to farm murders and crime in general. The demonstrators will open the road once the Mayor received their memorandum.” – Sedibeng Ster
