Several speakers - including members of the clergy - have also called on police to do more to help stop the violence.

Luyando Mhlongo's body was found in sugarcane fields a day after she'd been reported missing. She'd been raped, strangled and stabbed.

Mhlengi Mabuya of the Congress of South African Students says this can't go on.
