Black Coffee march against GBV cancelled or postponed?

World renowned house DJ, Black Coffee has expressed his sentiments regarding Gender based violence experienced by women at the hands of men in South Africa.

South Africans have been calling for justice around the senseless killings and violent acts on women and children in the country. Along with the plight, they call for men to unlearn misogynistic behaviours, stop the violence, and for the government to take action in acting against the injustices women and children face on a daily basis.

Black Coffee called for “men and boys” to participate in a march that he organised to happen in Soweto. The DJ took to social media to share the details of the march on his social media.

Keeping with the lockdown regulations, he had encouraged social distancing and the usage of masks.

But now the real question is what happened to the march? Well… it was allegedly cancelled. This after the star trended on Twitter for a full day.

The artist received a lot of backlash from social media as people criticised him for “organising” a march when he associates with a “perpetrator,” and is referred to by others as an “emotional abuser,” for how his relationship with actress, Enhle Mbali played out.

Black Coffee was a perpetual cheater during his marriage with Enhle which is emotional and psychological abuse. But he wants to March against GBV? I—

@RealBlackCoffee Instead of being defensive, actually read the feedback and criticism women are giving you.

If you’re GENUINELY holding this march FOR WOMEN, then LISTEN TO WOMEN.

Cos right now it comes across as if you’re doing women a favor and they must just be grateful.

Nathi, you’re not listening.

No one is saying don’t. We’re saying, no need to go clean the streets when your own backyard is full of trash.

You can’t be friends with abusive men and keep doing business with them, but also lead a march against gender based violence.

No. https://t.co/IGGb75v9Xa

The issue had been that Black Coffee is a hypocrite for organising a march against GBV when he associates with a perpetrator, kodwa is seems the victim is the one who did

A few responded in support of marching with Black Coffee…

So the Black Coffee March cancelled . All because of SJW who have done nothing for the issues but press retweet . Now what ??.I don't ever want to see anyone complain about people not doing enough . What's the point when they try and you pick and tear down their efforts .

Tweeps asked about it and speculated that it was cancelled indefinitely, whilst others claimed it may be postponed.

Should it be postponed, will you join the march?
