MenEngage Africa and Sonke Gender Justice are saddened by the death of Ugandan marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei, who tragically fell victim to domestic violence. The athlete, who recently participated impressively at the 2024 Paris Olympics, succumbed to her injuries inflicted on her by her former boyfriend, Dickson Marangach, who allegedly set her on fire.
MEA & Sonke passes condolences to the family and entire sports fraternity. “It is very sad both for Kenya and the continent that we have lost such talent at the prime of her career when we still expected a lot from her. More needs to be done to ensure that as a society we provide adequate protective environment for such national asserts,” said Bafana Khumalo of Sonke Gender Justice.
