From their famous Peace Cloud to the iconic Nelson Mandela Bridge, Keinemusik, together with SA tour organisers Anything Goes, takes an urgent stand against GBV, using light and purple to honour dignity, healing, and hope.
In a powerful and urgent stand with women and survivors across the country, Keinemusik, together with the organisers of the South African tour AnyThing Goes, illuminated Johannesburg in purple on Friday, 21 November, casting a global spotlight on the devastating realities of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in South Africa.
The collective reimagined the iconic Keinemusik Peace Cloud in a bold shade of purple – a colour symbolising healing, dignity, justice, and the unwavering fight against violence directed at women and children. More than a visual spectacle, this symbolic gesture served as a public declaration of solidarity and an urgent call for the world to recognise the severity of the GBV crisis in South Africa.
In partnership with the City of Johannesburg and supported by show partners Music People, Jet Black, and We Love Music, the organisers also lit the Nelson Mandela Bridge in purple, transforming one of the country’s most significant landmarks into a powerful beacon of awareness. Guests dressed in purple stood firmly in support of survivors. One attendee carried a purple South African flag, which Rampa and others signed – a heartfelt expression of unity and hope.

On Saturday in Cape Town, the Keinemusik Peace Sign was reimagined as a South African flag and carried proudly throughout the day. Against the backdrop of blazing sunshine and a glowing sunset, the gathering created a moment of reflection, connection, and collective commitment to amplifying awareness around GBV.
Across both cities, the intention remained clear: to honour survivors, spark meaningful dialogue, and use the influence of community, culture, and creativity to drive awareness of a crisis that demands urgent action.
