Josina Machel, daughter of Madiba's widow Graca Machel, joined the journey in the Mpumalanga city.


Machel added her voice to the Biker's mission of restoring the dignity of victims of gender based violence.

 

"I first decided that I was going to survive, I was going to get out of the car and scream for help. I decided that I was going to focus on myself, but I would speak out."


Machel made this decision after losing the sight in her right eye at the hands of a person she loved and trusted.


She was speaking at a free screening of the award-winning film 'Dis Ek, Anna'.
