A massive crowd of protesters gathered outside parliament in Cape Town this afternoon to protest against frightening levels of Gender Based Violence in South Africa.
Images taken by Neill Kropman show a large crowd covering every bit of space of the area outside parliament.
Incredible image of the protest today in Cape Town.✊?

In another video, the crowd can be heard singing and chanting as they anticipate an address from the authorities.
The crowd refuses to sing the national anthem on the arrival of Cyril.
Why must we sing the country’s song when they have failed us. #SAShutdown pic.twitter.com/nWSekYt6Aq
