SA gender activist: Forgive Chris Brown and move on

Durban - US Grammy award winning hip hop star Chris Brown should be allowed to move on with his life after doing his time and taking responsibility for assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna, a gender activist said ahead of his show at Durban's Moses Mabhida stadium on Saturday night.

"He has served his time and I think he has seen the folly of his ways. I don’t think we should imprison people in the court of public opinion," said Mbuyiseli Botha, spokesman for Sonke Gender Justice, an organisation which runs programmes on preventing domestic and sexual violence.
