Hlanganisa addresses GBV and women’s rights

BONUS - RUSTENBURG - Ironically, as South Africa observes Freedom Month, the nation faces one of its most pressing challenges: continued violence against women, which can be described as a pandemic in itself. 
As South Africa commemorates 30 years of democracy, it becomes increasingly crucial to address the systemic inequalities that continue to affect women's lives, as the country has one of the highest incidences of gender-based violence (GBV) globally, and statistics reveal that many women who survive GBV, fail to obtain justice for themselves. 
This is because of lack of knowledge about legal recourse, limited understanding of their rights, entrenched shame and stigma, fear of secondary victimisation, distrust in the criminal justice system, and the daunting task of navigating complex court processes.

Police Constable’s murder investigated

BONUS - POTCHEFSTROOM - The North West Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, is saddened by the murder of 31-year-old Constable Mogoro Clement Makola, who was recently shot and killed in Lekgalong village, near Marikana outside Rustenburg.
According to information, an off-duty Makola was coming out of a shop, when approached by the three unknown men. One of the offenders pointed a firearm at him and demanded money. In an attempt to disarm the suspect, Mokola was ultimately shot several times in the upper body. The trio fled the scene on foot, while the victim’s wife transported him to Kanana clinic.
