Mzansi is reeling in shock after a graphic video was circulating on social media on Saturday, 11 November.
In the video a young female student at a Cape Peninsula University (CPUT) residence, in Cape Town, is repeatedly stabbed by a man alleged to be her partner.
In reaction to the said video, #NotInMyName International president Siyabulela Jentile said the cowardice actions of the perpetrator come just a few hours after another gruesome video emerged on social media on 10 November, where a male employee at Sibanye-Stillwater in Westonaria, Gauteng, is allegedly seen stabbing and disemboweling his co-worker at a hostel.

The man allegedly proceeded to take a selfie next to his deceased co-worker.
Siyabulela said: "Both incidents highlight the urgent need to address toxic and violent masculinities in South Africa.
"The levels of violence in South Africa have reached supreme heights to be left to the hands of a government that seems to be fascinated by inactivity," he said.
#NotInMyName welcomes the arrest of both alleged perpetrators and calls on the community members around Cape Town and Westonaria to support the families of the victims.
"We extend our prayers and speedy recovery wishes to the CPUT student who is reported to be in hospital receiving medical care, and extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the Sibanye-Stillwater employee who are mourning the brutal and traumatic murder of their loved one," said Jentile.
