Shelters for abused women underfunded: reportGovernment is failing to provide adequate shelters for abused women, a report said. No surprise there! The ANCGovt has long paid lip service to protecting AbusedWomen, while outsourcing their responsibilities to under-funded NGOs! But it's good at wasting money on high profile functions which achieve NOTHING except publicity for its comrades! It's a disgrace that the ANCGovt has presided over the waste. looting & abuse of BILLIONS in public money, while SheltersForAbusedWomen & NGOs which help them in the fight against GenderBasedViolence, struggle for funding! Shame on them!

I have also been told I should be 'f**ked in the arse to be taught a lesson'.' I'm sure you're planning to apologise again, pic has nothing to do with your shoddy reporting. At least put the handle that's threatened your journalist, as CIC would not spew such vitriol If the shoe fits... SAEditorsForum 👏👏👏thank you for having a backbone ....not like Vodacom
