A spate of killings of women in South Africa has stoked a renewed public outcry about an issue that had been relegated by the coronavirus pandemic.

A week ago, the body of a 28-year-old pregnant woman was found hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Johannesburg, the commercial hub. On Sunday, the mutilated body of a 42-year-old, allegedly stabbed by her partner, was discovered in the capital, Pretoria.

Cases of femicide have surged since the government on June 1 eased lockdown restrictions, including allowing the resumption of alcohol sales.
