worldUpdated: Sep 29, 2019 09:46 ISTMeghan Markle has visited the site where a young female student was murdered in South Africa last month in a show of solidarity with victims of gender violence in one of the world’s most dangerous countries for women. The visit took place secretly this week but was announced on the official Sussex Royal Instagram page on Saturday. South Africa is plagued by gender-based violence, with at least 137 sexual offences committed per day, according to official figures. Meghan -- an outspoken women’s rights advocate -- is in South Africa as part of a 10-day official trip with her husband Prince Harry and their baby son Archie. “Now that we are with you, we are eager to learn and see first-hand the work that you’re doing.” Meghan and Archie remained in South Africa this week after Harry left for Botswana, Angola and Malawi.
