Sipho Thanjekwayo, Acting Head of Department, appealed to women and girls to immediately report any acts of violence against them.
“Most of our cases are open on Friday and Saturday and then on Monday, they are withdrawn. The majority of these cases are people who are dependent on these perpetrators. But what we are saying to the victims is that if you don’t continue with your case, the perpetrator is not going to stop. Today it might be a slap on the face, tomorrow it might be a murder. Like in this house where we are. It started with GBV until it came to murder,” says Thanjekwayo.
