Millions allocated to fight GBVF: Dimpane
The National Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) Inquiry is taking place in Johannesburg.
Acting National Police Commissioner Puleng Dimpane has defended the South African Police Service's (SAPS) efforts against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF). Acknowledging institutional challenges, Dimpane asserts that progress has been made by investing significant funds in GBVF-related campaigns across provinces. Speaking at the National Inquiry in Johannesburg, Dimpane disclosed that, since 2021/22, over R450 million has been allocated to provinces to effectively respond to GBVF and to strengthen Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offences Units.
She emphasized that sharing these insights is not to claim accountability but to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the issue for a sustainable response, involving government and society alike.
