South Africa’s ongoing struggle with gender-based violence has once again been pushed into the spotlight—this time by the Lebo M Foundation.
The organization has stepped forward to back Minnie Dlamini while reminding the country that her experience represents the pain of countless women who continue to suffer in silence.
The Foundation Raises Its Voice
In a bold statement, the Lebo M Foundation made it clear that it refuses to stay quiet on the issue of gender-based violence.
The message was simple yet powerful: every woman’s story matters, and the nation must stop treating these cases as private, hidden struggles.
Instead, South Africans are urged to get loud, stand together, and demand real change.
A Fight for All South Africans
Founder Lebo M emphasized that this isn’t just Minnie Dlamini’s battle—it’s a fight for every mother, daughter, and sister who fears for her safety each day.
“The courts must hear women’s voices,” the foundation declared, stressing that silence only fuels abuse.
The commitment, they said, is to stay on the frontlines of this fight until dignity and justice are restored for survivors everywhere.
Calling for Urgency and Action
The Foundation is now urging the government, the justice system, and society at large to treat gender-based violence with the same seriousness as any other national crisis.
Beyond statements, they plan to work directly with survivor networks—including WhatsApp support groups—to make sure women’s voices are included in shaping the national conversation.
The Controversy Surrounding Minnie Dlamini
This powerful stance comes after Minnie Dlamini became the target of degrading remarks on MacG’s Podcast and Chill.
Following her split from Dr Brian Monaisa, MacG made offensive comments about her personal life and hygiene.
The backlash was swift, with public figures and networks condemning his remarks.
Deputy Minister Letsike even categorized the incident as online gender-based violence.
Minnie Dlamini Pushes Back
Although MacG later issued an apology, Minnie rejected it outright, calling it empty and insincere.
Instead, she confirmed that she’s taking legal action against both MacG and his co-host, Sol Phenduka, signaling that she won’t let the insults slide without accountability.
A National Conversation That Can’t Be Ignored
The outrage sparked by Minnie’s case shows how deep the issue runs and how urgently South Africa needs to address gender-based violence.
With the Lebo M Foundation taking a firm stand, survivors across the country are being reminded that they don’t have to fight alone.
