In a bid to get corporate South Africa involved in the fight against gender-based violence, scores of supporters and protesters participated in the ShutdownSandton movement.

Starting as early as 3am on Friday (13 September 2019), the protesters shouted slogans and held up placards to highlight their plight.

After delivering a memorandum to the CEO of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the protesters marched to several intersections along Rivonia road – bringing traffic to an abrupt halt.
