Men should lead from the front to end GBVF, says KZN MEC

KwaZulu-Natal social development MEC Nonhlanhla Khoza has called on the community to play their part in ending gender-based violence and femicide .

Khoza was speaking during a community dialogue at Fabeni village in uMsinga on Monday. The area, which falls under the uMzinyathi district municipality, is widely considered a hotbed of GBVF.Khoza said despite the high numbers of GBVF cases, which manifested in various forms such as rape and domestic violence, it was shocking that few perpetrators were held to account.

“We have been informed about the offences of sexual assaults and rapes of women and children in uMsinga and some cases go unreported or families accept payments of goats as fines to make these cases go away. This is a crime and we cannot allow such things to happen.” She commended the department and social partners who have made attempts to combat violence against women and children.Government could only win the war if the community played its part.“The department would like to ensure that no woman is killed because they are in disagreement with their partners or decided to end the relationship,” said Khoza.

It will never stop! Stop wasting money!

And you MEC Khoza must lead infront of telling ladies that if a man takes you to university, he's your type otherwise......

What part is the government playing?

Nice idea but very little will change until the trauma, past and present, is healed.

She is blind n mute on prostitution because it’s their bodies? The two can’t be handled separately
