Cape Town – According to HELLO! Magazine, The Duchess of Sussex, went to the post office where University of Cape Town student Uyinene Mrwetyana was killed earlier this year.
The British publication cites a royal source who said: "the duchess made a private visit to the memorial of Uyinene Mrwetyana. Having closely followed the tragic story, it was a personal gesture she wanted to make."
According to News24, on 24th August 2019, the 19-year-old student was murdered, allegedly by a 42-year-old Post Office worker who raped and bludgeoned her to death.
The young woman's brutal death sparked a movement around South Africa with women from a variety of backgrounds taking to the streets and asking: "Am I Next?"
On Saturday The Sussex Royal Instagram posted a picture of Meghan at the memorial.
In part the caption read: "Simi kunye kulesisimo" – 'We stand together in this moment'. The Duchess of Sussex has tied a ribbon at the site where 19-year-old Cape Town student Uyinene Mrwetyana was murdered last month, to pay her respects and to show solidarity with those who have taken a stand against gender based violence and femicide."
