> Nine women’s bodies have been found in Johannesburg in similar circumstances since July. Most victims were in their 20s or 30s, and nearly all had endured extreme violence before dying. Women marched through the city to protest the violence, following earlier demonstrations over South Africa’s high femicide rates.
