Nkoana-Mashabane said she was concerned about the rise in gender-based violence cases. Over the past couple of days, the killing of women allegedly by their partners has resurfaced calls for the government to do more to deal with gender-based violence cases.
Nkoana-Mashabane said the fight against gender-based violence cannot be done by the government only and that community support and efforts were needed. "Government acknowledges the crisis with regards to GBVF and condemn the current brutal killing of innocent women and children. We want a society where women, children and other vulnerable groups can live freely, without fear of either being abused or killed. We reconfirm our commitment to fighting the scourge of GBVF with more vigour," the minister said.
