Ramaphosa promises to address the country on GBV and Ekurhuleni killings

President Cyril Ramaphosa has outlined a multi-disciplinary national strategy to address the growing scourge of Gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) in the country.

The plan will involve a coordinated fact-finding mission including a full count of the backlog related to GBVF cases countrywide.

He has confirmed several arrests in the string of murder cases in Ekurhuleni recently, adding there is no indication that one person committed them.

The president was addressing the country at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Tuesday and has admitted that government has not done enough to fight gender-based violence.

Ramaphosa presented a plan involving departments including police, justice and trade and industry.
