Protest In Joburg Demands Justice For 7-year-old Raped At Ec School

Close to 100 people are marching in Johannesburg calling for justice for a seven-year-old girl raped at a private school in Matatiele in the Eastern Cape.

The incident happened last year while the girl was waiting for transport to take her home from school.

It has sparked public outrage including on social media platforms.

The provincial Education Department has since deregistered the school after management failed to cooperate with police in the investigation.

These marchers say more should be done to fight against gender-based violence.
