Rapper Cassper Nyovest is appalled at the rate in which people go missing in South Africa.
The “Bonginkosi” hitmaker took to Twitter to address the issue of human trafficking in South Africa.
In the tweet he wrote: “Guys no ways. So many people going missing and our President still hasn't said anything? Like nothing? F****? Kana everyday it’s a new person I see on the timeline who went missing. I can only imagine what women feel like having to walk in these streets. YOH! #HumanTrafficking,” he wrote.

Cassper’s fans praised him for being vocal and other Twitter users wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon and commenting that more artists should use their voices to call out the seriousness of the matter.
Here’s what some tweeps had to say:
