Opposition parties respond to President Cyril Ramaphosa's plan to tackle gender-based violence

GALLO IMAGES

Opposition parties expressed concern at the government's slow pace in dealing decisively with gender-based violence. They aired their views in parliament on Wednesday, when President Cyril Ramaphosa detailed his plan of action to tackle the issue. “The conviction rate is less than 5% and, Mr President, that's not good enough.” Maimane also said the laws used to deal with gender-based crimes needed to be revisited, as they may be redundant.The IFP's Liezl van der Merwe said hardly anything had changed since the murder of Karabo Mokoena in 2017.

She also called for more education on the issue. “The mere fact that the child is yours does not mean that you can violate or abuse them. The mere fact that the wife is yours does not mean that you can force sex on them.”

A black leader of the official opposition says 'dark stain'. Honestly!!! Ever heard of 'blemish', 'taint', etc. You guys under this clown are no more than a prepubescent looking fo his pubic bonafides...

Meanwhile, as calls mount on GovernmentZA to do more on reducing Gender Based Violence, the scourge continues... Not all draw mass publicity or catch the eye of racist Politicians MSM BlackTwitter PoliticalParty's...But none the less, it's still a murder. 2 kids mum killed.

The demonisation of men is the most idiotic instance of mass hysteria since witch burning
