Chris Brown FNB Stadium concert sparks South Africa debate about gender-based violence

Summary

Nutrition label

66% Informative

Chris Brown's concert in South Africa has led to renewed focus on country's shocking levels of violence against women.

Campaigners say it sends wrong message given his history of abuse.

Chris Brown has previously been banned from entering other countries, including the United Kingdom , Australia , Canada , and New Zealand .

Women for Change wants to know how the Department of Home Affairs could grant a convicted abuser’ a visa.

Yet this goal remains a distant one - little has changed five years after he called for action to tackle the country's "rape crisis". This year alone, Women for Change has honoured over 200 women who have lost their lives to femicide. "This fight isn’t just about this concert. It’s about changing the narrative in South Africa , where abusers are held accountable and where violence against women is never excused, overlooked, or forgotten.” More South Africa stories from the BBC : Go to BBCAfrica.com for more news from the African continent..
