Siyathemba Municipality continues with the Fight Against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide with Thursdays in Black (TiB)

President Ramaphosa’s Four-Point Plan Calls for Urgent Action to Protect Women and Children

Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) remains one of the most serious social challenges confronting South Africa. The continued abuse, assault and murder of women and children demand urgent and coordinated action from all spheres of government, law-enforcement agencies, civil society and communities.

In response to this national crisis, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a Four-Point Action Plan aimed at strengthening the criminal justice system, improving community safety and ensuring greater accountability in the fight against GBVF. Based on this Siyathemba continues to champion this cause. As a visible display support, staff are encouraged to wear black clothing on Thursdays to signify the importance of this fight. The recent incident near the school is evidence that more should be done to make the enviroment safe for women and young girls.
