The twin pandemics: gender based violence during the times of coronavirus in South Africa

Posted on July 27, 2020July 29, 2020 Author Sasha Mills

Gender-based violence is not a new problem in South Africa, but it has reached a fever pitch during the Covid-19 pandemic, with hundreds breaking lockdown restrictions to grieve the violent murder of Tshegofatso Pule, a 28 year old pregnant woman, in early June.

It is attacks like these that have led to the latest controversy in the situation: Pakistan building a barbed wire fence around Gwadar. The provincial government plans to fence off 24 sq. km of the city with only two entry points, and more than 500 high-definition cameras. The fencing will include China’s deep seaport but will not cover the China-funded New Gwadar International Airport and 80 of the newly built housing projects.
