They chanted the name of the little girl, saying they are standing with her and many other children in the country who had been abused.

Founder of the NPO, Angela Molepo, said that they were tired of the constant problems people faced in the country.

"We have had those victims, and every time, seemingly, it's swept under the rug. If it's not swept under the rug, the people do not get the right sentences."
 
She said they wanted answers now.
