SA has been gripped by several reports of femicide over the past two weeks and Shimza wanted to do his bit to fight the scourge.

DJ Shimza and several other men took to the streets, wearing doeks to show their solidarity against gender-based violence.

Dressed in a doek, he joined the Kasi Walk 4 Women initiative on Saturday. The walk took place from Ebuhleni to the Tembisa police station, where a petition to stop gender-based violence was handed over to law-enforcement officials. Tagged"Enough Is Enough", Shimza and other men dressed in black and took a firm stand on violence against women. "I am human before being a public figure and I care about issues that affect my community. Myself and a couple of brothers from Tembisa joined the march in doeks not as caricature, but more so as a symbol of solidarity with women who are subjected to sexual violence and physical abuse, often at the hands of men known to them.

Shimza urged his male followers to take a stand and be a part of a culture that protects women from abuse of any kind.
