The South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has admitted the country is facing a national crisis of violence against women as protesters took to the streets for a third successive day.
“We are going to overhaul and modernise the national register of gender-based violence offenders provided for in the sexual offences act to ensure it is effective in combating gender-based violence. “All gender-based violence cases that have been closed or that were not properly investigated must be reviewed.”
“Circumstances surrounding a murder and an attempted murder are being investigated by police. This morning [Friday] at around 2am, a 33-year-old man was shot and wounded at his residence by unknown suspects. His 31-year-old girlfriend was kidnapped from the residence by the suspects and dropped off at the Wolfgat nature reserve with extensive injuries,” he said.
