The recent release of Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger, the attackers of Alison Botha, on parole has triggered widespread dismay and disbelief among many South Africans. Convicted of brutally raping and stabbing Alison, the two men were released after serving 28 years in prison for their heinous crimes. Alison’s story is a reminder of the rampant sexual violence in South Africa and the urgent need for a more effective approach to addressing gender-based violence in the country.

Rachel Kolisi and Women For Change Mobilize to Revoke Parole

Rachel Kolisi, a well-known public figure in South Africa, is leading a campaign to revoke the parole of du Toit and Kruger. She took to her Instagram Stories to urge fellow citizens to join her in signing a petition initiated by the Women For Change movement. The petition argues that the attackers have shown “no respect for [Alison’s] life or remorse for their actions” and calls for the parole decision to be revisited and revoked to protect Alison, her family, and South African society as a whole.

A Call for Justice and Protection of Women

The Women For Change movement comprises gender-based violence activists who advocate for justice and protection of women in South Africa. The release of Alison Botha’s attackers highlights the government’s apparent inability to protect the public from violent offenders or adhere to due process. The public outcry surrounding this case emphasizes the need for a more effective and compassionate approach to addressing gender-based violence in the country.

Mobilizing the Public for Change

The fight for justice and the protection of women in South Africa continues. Activists such as Rachel Kolisi and organizations such as Women For Change are challenging the status quo and advocating for change. They are mobilizing the public and sending a strong message that the current approach to handling cases of gender-based violence is insufficient. The priority must be the wellbeing of survivors and the prevention of future crimes.
