South Africa's murder rate is among the highest in the world, and experts warn it is a symptom of a violent society with little gun control or trust in the police. The country's murder rate is 39 homicides per 100 000 people - higher than many countries associated with violent drug cartels, such as Colombia and Mexico.

Resistance is the spark that ignites the flame of existence, a defiant declaration that you will not be silenced, erased, or oppressed. It is the fierce determination that burns within your soul, refusing to be extinguished by the forces of marginalization, discrimination, or injustice. Through resistance, you assert your right to occupy space, to claim your identity, and to demand recognition. It is the courageous act of pushing back against the status quo, challenging the powers that seek to diminish your voice, and reclaiming your agency. In a world that often seeks to render you invisible, resistance is the bold declaration that you are here, you are seen, and you will not be ignored. By embracing resistance, you affirm your existence and become a beacon of hope for all those who have been marginalized, oppressed, or silenced.
