UWC celebrates Jesse Hess’ life with her favourite flowers

Cape Town - In celebration of the 21st birthday of the late Jesse Hess, dozens of sunflowers were placed at her home in memory of the slain student and her grandfather.

On Friday, August 30, 2019, Hess and her 85-year-old grandfather Chris Lategan, were found dead in their apartment, leaving family members and communities devastated. She had been raped. “The sunflowers represent happiness, hope and devotion. They embody everything young Jesse was. May we always celebrate her life and the positive contribution she made in the lives of so many in her 19 years with us.”

“Jesse wanted to change the world by helping others – by educating our communities about GBV and trying to find solutions we can help fulfil her dream. South Africa should not be a country where women live in constant fear. It should be a place where girls can reach their full potential unhindered by violence and peace reign at home,” said Pretorius.
