Lamola and minister for women in the presidency Maite Nkoana-Mashabane were addressing the media on Tuesday. The National Prosecuting Authority and the courts could never halt gender-based violence alone if society at large, particularly men, did not play their part, he said. Lamola said there were various interventions that the government was undertaking to curb gender-based violence and femicide. Chief among those was a consideration for the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act to “ensure that it is effective, responsive and enables us to prevent the scourge”.
