TO DENY BAIL FOR MRS. THANDISWA GCAKASI3

 We, the undersigned, call on the South African justice system to deny bail to THANDISWA GCAKASI, who was arrested on charges of murder of her husband LUVUYO GCAKASI in Soweto On Sea.

We, the people of Gqeberha and surrounding communities, stand united in pain, outrage, and determination as we appeal to the New Brighton Magistrate’s Court to refuse bail for the accused.

This case is not just a legal matter; it is a fight for justice, safety, and accountability in our community.

We cannot stand by while those accused of such violent crimes are allowed to walk freely among the people they have harmed.

On Monday , 19 January 2026, our collective voice must resonate in the courtroom, sending a clear message that  murder is a grave crime that threaten the very fabric of our society.

We oppose bail for Mrs. THANDISWA GCAKASI for the following reasons:

1. Public Safety

The severity of the charges, involving violence and   taking a life, poses a clear danger to the community. Granting bail would undermine the justice system’s duty to protect citizens.

2.  Disregard for Human Life

The alleged actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for human life and the values of justice and accountability. Allowing bail would send a dangerous message that such acts carry no real consequence.

Our communities are built on the spirit of ubuntu— the belief that “I am because we are.”

When one of us is murdered, we are all affected. Justice for LUVUYO is justice for every  parent, and citizen who believes in compassion, humanity, and mutual respect.

To uphold the values of ubuntu, we must protect one another and ensure that those accused of such violence are held accountable.

We call upon the New Brighton Magistrate’s Court to act in the interest of justice and community safety by denying bail to Mrs. THANDISWA GCAKASI.

Our unity reflects our strength, our shared humanity, and our unwavering commitment to a safer, just society.

Stand with us.

Let your voice be heard. Sign this petition to protect our community, uphold ubuntu, and seek justice for THANDISWA GCAKASI.
