DSG Poppy spoke of fear and anger women carry around with them, caused by men who fail to protect and love a woman as they should. Poppy further confirmed the arrest of a man responsible for Hillary’s death and the hotel she may possibly be shot at. Poppy says the country is “fucked up”.

We don’t feel safe in our houses anymore,” she said. The crowd sang “I’m going to let it shine.” As they lit and placed the candles after singing the all time song ‘Senzeni na’
