The Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle) wife of Prince Harry of England, has tied a ribbon at a memorial to a South African student, at the post office where she was raped and murdered last month.
Meghan has also personally passed on her condolences to the mother of 19-year-old Uyinene Mrwetyana.
The duchess made the visit to “show solidarity” with protesters against gender-based violence, a post on her official Instagram account said.
She is visiting South Africa as part of a 10-day tour of southern Africa.
She has been travelling with her husband, Prince Harry, who is currently in Angola, and her four month-old son Archie.

Visiting the site and recognising the women impacted by gender-based violence was “personally important” to the duchess, the post said.
