Updated | By Sandile Bhengu
King Misuzulu kaZwelithini says those who sit in silence while witnessing violence against women and children are just as guilty as the perpetrators.
An anti-gender-based violence march was held on Saturday in Durban in an effort to change men's attitudes towards women.
The protesters held placards reading "Stop killing women", "Silence hides violence" and "Protect our sisters”.
The Zulu monarch joined the demonstration, along with government officials including Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu.
