The minister of police said his vision when he became national police commissioner in 2009 was to ensure that young women can walk home in the middle of the night without the fear of being assaulted, attacked, or raped by any person. ANCMensDialogue

Johannesburg - Police Minister Bheki Cele on Friday night warned South African men that thinking they have a duty to protect women was among the drivers of the gender-based violence and femicide scourge.

”Sometimes, I’ll be controversial here, sometimes I don’t agree very much with the theory that men must protect women. Women don’t need protection of men, they need their space, they’re fully-fledged human beings,” he explained.
