The Commission for Gender Equality on Wednesday urged law enforcement agencies in South Africa to act swiftly and solve the alleged rape of a 61-year-old grandmother and her 21-year-old daughter in Dobsonville, Soweto.

PRETORIA -

“The Commission has during this lockdown and whilst conducting its activities as part of the essential services been calling for a move from rhetoric statements to more concrete actions when it comes to dealing with gender-based violence and other related atrocities. The rape of the grandmother and her daughter shows that the perpetrators of GBV are daring, henceforth acting with impunity,” said the CGE in a statement.

“As the CGE, we believe that justice should not be heard but must be seen to be working effectively for all citizens, as a legal maxim, justice delayed is justice denied. Women and children cannot be at the mercy of perpetrators of gender-based violence in the streets or their private spaces."
