Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva, the Chairperson of the National Inquiry on Gender Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF), has pledged to closely monitor President Cyril Ramaphosa's commitments to tackling GBVF in the country. Speaking in Johannesburg, Mkhwanazi-Xaluva emphasized the inquiry's role in holding duty bearers accountable for issues and challenges related to GBVF, as well as the necessary improvements within the criminal justice system.
She stated that once policies and commitments are implemented, the struggle against Gender Based Violence and Femicide will be successful. Mkhwanazi-Xaluva revealed that they have received complaints from individuals who attended the three commissions, expressing dissatisfaction with the system's ineffectiveness.
