Deputy President Paul Mashatile on recent killings of women in the East Rand
As Chairperson of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster Cabinet Committee, I wish to strongly condemn the recent killings of women in and around Kempton Park in Gauteng.
I join President Cyril Ramaphosa and all South Africans in extending deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the women who have lost their lives under these horrific circumstances.
I would like to express solidarity with the women and residents of Kempton Park, surrounding areas and the whole country affected by this latest devastating news.
In the same vein, I would like to urge our law enforcement agencies to continue to work with other relevant stakeholders and communities to ensure that those responsible for these crimes are brought to book and that women and children feel safe in their communities.
Gender-based violence (GBV) has no place in our communities, and all men should be in the forefront condemning such violence and protecting women.
