Lamola added that it was high time that the justice system treated cases of gender-based violence and femicide with the sensitivity and speed they deserved - to the satisfaction of the victims.

“Enough. We are sick and tired of hearing how women get killed in their homes, in their churches and as they walk along the streets,” she said. According to her, between July 1 and December 31 2018, the courts sentenced 1,357 people to 371 life sentences - a total of 4,629 years' imprisonment.She said much more was being done by government.
