“Women go missing all the time, but I feel the prettier and wealthier women get more attention in the media” – East Coast Drive listener
A few South Africans feel some way about how people act differently when a prettier or wealthier woman goes missing in SA. Some might even say they get more social media attention than the rest of the girls that go missing every day.
Listen to the podcast or read below:
The Drive team received the following WTF message from an anonymous listener:

"Hi, Bongani and Mags
It seems that when women go missing, it is usually the prettier and wealthier women that get most of the attention in the media.
Women go missing all the time in South Africa, but generally, it is only a few that trend and gets everyone hyped up.
This really concerns me."

This might seem like it's not true, but when you look back, it generally is the prettier or wealthier girls that get the most publicity - which is a problem because all lives matter and are worth the same.
