'I have been quiet for so long': Siya Kolisi on holding men accountable for gender-based violence

Kolisi said he stopped being scared after realising that more women were dying and his silence was not advocating change.

Kolisi said he was also unlearning some of the toxic traits that he learned growing up and encouraged other men to do so too. “People always ask why it is important for men to be there. It is because it's us who are causing this problem. As a man, you don't treat people like that, so that's why I have a problem with it. If someone says they are a man and they do that kind of stuff, it also reflects on me,” he said.
