Ngaa Murombedzi, spokesperson for anti-child abuse organisation Women and Men Against Child Abuse, said South Africa upheld “non-derogable rights, including the right to life and the right to not be tortured”, which formed the basis of the abolishment of the death penalty.“In that regard, the minister’s call is a violation of provisions of the Bill of Rights as per the constitution,” she said.
Political analyst Dr Levy Ndou said it was not a matter of politicising, but just women in the country addressing a matter of great concern, saying enough is enough against the leniency of SA’s justice system and having harsher measures.
