Katie Christie, a resident of Claremont, organised this year's memorial. Christie's daughter as a friend of Uyinene and were the same age.

Western Cape MEC for Social Development, Shana Fernandez, said women are still being murdered every three hours on South Africa. She aid the vicious cycle is being perpetuated despite the outrage.
