The friends meet at the clubhouse to discuss Kele’s absence. They check her last
known location, which is inactive, causing panic.
The group questions people on campus who were at the party. Ideas to print posters
and contact the police are debated and dismissed. Ultimately, they go to the police, but
the authorities dismiss their concerns due to the 24-hour rule.

intensify the pressure. The group spends Saturday in vain attempts to locate her.

into silence and grief.

murderer. Her emotional unavailability strains her friendships.

murderer. They leverage social media, posting about Kele's disappearance and seeking
information. They receive a crucial video showing Kele getting into the antagonist's
car.
With video evidence in hand, the group approaches the police again. The combination
of social media pressure and the clear evidence prompts a renewed investigation.

The police, with social media support, identify and arrest Thomas Nkosi, a 23-year-
old student. The news of his arrest spreads, and he is formally charged with Kele's
rape and murder.

starting her journey towards healing.
Lihle, with Buhle, Zuko, and campus security's support, confronts her abusive
boyfriend and ends the relationship, reclaiming her autonomy.

Buhle and her friends join a public protest against GBV outside their campus, standing
with other victims and survivors. The protest highlights the broader issue of gender-
based violence and the community's commitment to fighting it.
