20.01.2022 CW: This post discusses violence against women. In 2017, students Popi and Bongeka hailed a taxi as they headed out to an evening at the mall. Tragically, they ...never made it there. They were both fatally shot, and dumped by the side of the road. It's been 3 years since Popi and Bongeka's lives were stolen from them. Their murderers have never been brought to justice.
