#NotInMyName: Govt incapable of curbing levels of violent crime
The civil rights movement, #NotInMyName, says the government is clearly incapable of curbing the high levels of violent crime in the country.
This comes after a student from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology was stabbed, allegedly by her partner, on Saturday morning.
In video footage circulating on social media, a male student can be seen stabbing a female student in the stomach while she is lying on the floor next to a pool of blood.
The brutal murder of a Sibanye Stillwater employee by a colleague was also captured on video.
In a video, the perpetrator is seen stabbing the victim multiple times in the upper body.
He further took a picture of himself with his dead colleague.

#NotInMyName President Siyabulela Jentile says both incidents highlight the urgent need to address toxic and violent masculinity in South Africa
“The levels of violence in South Africa have reached supreme heights to be left to the hands of a government that seems to be fascinated by inactivity.
“#NotInMyName welcomes the arrest of both perpetrators and calls on the community members around Cape Town and Westonaria to support the families of the victims and never, under no circumstances, guarantee the safety of the perpetrators should they be granted bail.
“South Africa is a war zone. Where are our leaders?”
