Femicide levels in SA are five times higher than the global average. Most shocking is that three women die at the hands of their partner daily. Imagine if government spent as much to fight this as it does on commissions of inquiry, writes Nthabiseng Moleko

After the insurmountable explosions around the state capture commission and the allegations around the siphoning of funds among state-owned enterprises we have seen several national responses that were long awaited.

The statistics will numb you, but not as much as the harrowing details given by real lives affected by Gender Based Violence at last year’s Femicide and Gender Summit. In South Africa, 1 in five women have experienced physical violence, if poorer the statistics show a bleaker picture of 1 in every three women.

Due to criminal actions perpetrated by men who profess their love for them, yet gruesomely shorten their lives in normally tragic and extremely violent situations. The scale of deterioration of public sector agencies has attracted a robust action by the state to rebuild the institutions. Imagine if a proportion were given to institutions embodied in our constitutions whose mandate is to reduce and eradicate gender-based violence, to deal with the backlog of sexual offences related cases in our courts.

We have seen the first ever Femicide and Gender Based Violence Summit that was held in St Georges as a positive response by the president and the government.

This femicide can be minimized by the minister Bathabile and MEC Lesufi by incorporating npo

Belittling the commissions at the expense of femicide does not help those in the dark to understand the gravity of the problem instead makes its sound like a sensational piece. A well thought piece does not need populist headlines
