#StandUpForSadia: When we stood unified against gun violence
A death that gripped the nation, and left many, including the Breakfast Team, devastated. Nine-year-old Sadia Sukraj's death brought KZN closer to stand together for a purpose.
Listen to Darren Maule as he talks about gun violence and appeals to KZN to #StandUpForSadia below, or read the details under the podcast.
On the morning of May 28, the Sukraj family never thought they would lose their child. Sadia was shot and killed in a botched hijacking in her home town of Shallcross. Her death sparked a nationwide outcry for help.
East Coast Radio stood in partnership with KZN, with one voice saying: 'enough is enough'. The campaign, #StandUpForSadia, encouraged KZN to wear or display orange. It was the defining colour of the gun violence prevention movement.
