Gender Base Violence (GBV)

Dr. Ray Legodi returns to the studio with a hard-hitting conversation on GBV as a national disaster, echoing President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call that South Africa has classified gender-based violence and femicide as a national disaster/national crisis and that “extraordinary and concerted action” is needed to end it. He amplifies the President’s appeal for men and boys to take urgent responsibility in changing harmful norms and actively fighting violence.
Dr. Legodi reflects on recent viral stories and public reactions, challenging listeners to respond with truth, accountability, and protection—without turning pain into a gender “scorecard” when any life is lost. The discussion confronts the tension in public commentary, including cases that circulated online about men allegedly killed by women, and calls for consistent justice, prevention, and healing in homes and communities.
