Chris Brown concert shines spotlight on violence against women in South Africa

Chris Brown's upcoming concert in South Africa has drawn backlash due to his history of violence against women, amid the country's severe gender-based violence (GBV) crisis.

Campaigners, led by Sabina Walter of Women for Change, have launched a petition against his performance, gathering over 20,000 signatures.

While many fans are excited about the concert, critics argue that allowing Brown to perform sends a harmful message about accountability.

Despite calls from President Cyril Ramaphosa to address GBV, the issue remains pressing, with little progress made in tackling the crisis.
