Sexual Violence in South Africa - A Podcasthon Episode Dedicated to Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust

Sexual Violence in South Africa - A Podcasthon Episode Dedicated to Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust

Author: Killer Audio Creations March 20, 2025 Duration: 1:02:51
If you follow the podcast on social media, you’ll have seen me talking about True Crime South Africa taking part in an international event to raise awareness for charities all over the world. From the 15th of March until 21st of March podcasters all over the world are dedicated one episode in their feed to the Podcasthon. We got to select a charity we wanted to highlight, and I picked Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust because sexual violence is a topic that is terrifyingly prevalent in so many of the cases I discuss on this podcast and we desperately need to be having more conversations about this topic. I first aired the interview you’ll hear today on the podcast in 2022. And it was such a valuable conversation about so many important topics including consent within relationships and other rarely discussed issues. The interviewee in the podcast is Ronel Koekemoer. She is an incredible human I’ve had the privilege of meeting through my work over the last six years. At the time of this interview, she worked for Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust. She has since left, but she is still hugely supportive of the organisation and Ronel is still working in the gender-based violence activism space, furthering her education in the field and working on incredible projects. https://rapecrisis.org.za/ https://podcasthon.org/ (24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447) (Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa) (Support the show on PayPal https://www.paypal.me/truecrimesa)

Dive into the complex and often unsettling world of criminal investigations with True Crime South Africa. This podcast, produced by Killer Audio Creations, goes beyond the headlines to explore the intricate details of both solved and unsolved cases rooted in South African society. Each episode is a carefully researched narrative that examines the cultural contexts, forensic puzzles, and human stories behind these events. You'll hear detailed accounts that piece together timelines, evidence, and personal testimonies, offering a thorough look at how justice is sought and sometimes remains elusive. The focus remains squarely on South Africa, providing a localized perspective that considers the unique social and historical factors at play. By listening to this podcast, you engage with stories that are as much about understanding a nation's challenges as they are about crime itself. The production aims for clarity and depth, presenting facts while respecting the gravity of the subject matter. It’s an immersive audio experience for anyone fascinated by the meticulous process of unraveling real-life mysteries and the broader societal echoes they create.
