MASKANDI artist Babini Ngqikiza wants to do his part to fight gender-based violence (GBV).
As the country closed off Human Rights month on Friday 31 March, the singer said his wish was to see people living in harmony.
He told Daily Sun that people should learn to respect one another and their rights, and not harm each other.
The singer from Bizana in the Eastern Cape, who is best known as Coloured Elimhlophe, said he didn't like it when women, children and people living with disabilities were oppressed.
He said they were all recognised by the supreme laws of the country.

On Human Rights Day on 21 March, Coloured Elimhlophe hosted a show at Irvin's Park in Bekkersdal to raise awareness. He said he would continue to host events until things changed.
''These events will teach youngsters, especially young boys, to treat women with respect and decency,'' he said.
"At most of my events I invite young virgins, amatsitsi called Imicosholono Ye Sizwe, to educate them about gender-based violence and alert them about the killings taking place in the world," he said.
On his album titled Coloured Siyabonga Baba, which was recorded in 2020, the singer praises women in the song titled Baby Come Baby.
On his latest album Coloured Elimhlophe, which was released earlier this year, there's a song titled Umona, in which he expresses that if jealousy is not dealt with, it could lead to outburst.
The album features other songs such as Lala Kahle, which is dedicated to his dad who died when he was young.
"I was raised by a single mother who has taught me the right values and how to treat women. My dream is to work and share a stage with talented artists," he said.
