Gender Based Violence prayer session at Dinokana village

Following the recent Community Safety and Transport Management commitment on strengthening the fight against crime, the Department led the Gender Based Violence prayer session at Dinokana village in the Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality.

The Chief Director for Civilian Secretariat for Police Service, Ms Mpho Maleme called on victims not to withdraw their cases and explained the role of the Department on ensuring that police services communities according to the law.

“We are responsible to ensure that you get the service that you deserve at police stations and upon our investigations we are able to re-register your case should we find discrepancies from the police side upon their investigation,” said Maleme.

The prayer session was organised under the District Development Model (DDM), where a number of government departments (National Prosecuting Authority, Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, South African Police Services, Home Affairs, Social Development and South African Social Security Agency), presented to communities on their services, in this case particularly on dealing with cases of GBV&F.
