South African (SA) President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to address the nation at 19:00 CAT this evening to outline government measures addressing the escalating crisis of Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF).
The presidential address follows a series of brutal killings across Gauteng province, where law enforcement authorities have recovered 12 bodies of young women in Ekurhuleni and another in Soweto over the past 2 months.
The discoveries across locations including Kempton Park, Tembisa, and Springs have sparked nationwide outrage and intensified concerns over public safety and police response times.
Ramaphosa is expected to provide comprehensive updates on active multi-agency investigations into the Gauteng murders while announcing targeted law enforcement and social interventions to combat gender-based crimes across the country.
