In the first quarter of the 2025/26 financial year, Gauteng’s Department of Social Development reached 345 people through shelters for victims of gender-based violence and crime, against a target of 523. Spokesperson Motsamai Motlhaolwa confirmed the shortfall and cited some victims’ reluctance to remain in shelters; 142 residents discharged themselves during the financial year.
