President Cyril Ramaphosa announced, this week, that 21 women were killed across the country in the past two weeks.
JOHANNESBURG – Several women and children have been killed and their bodies dumped across the country in recent days as the number of reported incidents of gender-based violence increases.
“The time to mobilise in the communities and men across the country to take a strong stand and protest against violence against women and children. It looks as though people are beginning to realise its time to stand up.” “The victim got a lift from the suspect but instead of driving to her residence they went to a bushy area in Thembalethu where he allegedly assaulted her before raping her inside the vehicle. Further investigations led to the arrest of a 40-year-old man. We also located the vehicle they were allegedly travelling in.”
