New Delhi, Sep 22 (ANI): The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle will touch upon the issue of violence against women after arriving in South Africa on September 23 for the royal tour. Markle is planning to raise the issue of "gender violence" within hours of arriving in Cape Town with her husband Prince Harry and their son Archie, reported Fox News. The couple is all set to visit an impoverished township on the first morning of their 10-day royal tour to Africa. Buckingham Palace had earlier confirmed that "Harry and Meghan will begin their tour in a township in Cape Town where the royals will view a workshop that teaches children about their rights, self-awareness, and safety and which provides self-defence classes and female empowerment training to young girls in the community." The royal couple is also expected to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Mrs Tutu at their legacy foundation. The duo will also speak to Grace Machel, the widow of late President Nelson Mandela before the royal tour wraps up on October 2.
