Ramaphosa announces new measures to tackle GBVF after Kempton Park killings

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced measures to strengthen the government's response to gender-based violence and femicide, including a national review of unresolved cases and mandatory safety audits in municipalities. This follows the discovery of 11 women's bodies in the Ekurhuleni area since July, raising concerns and calls for action. He directed authorities to identify unresolved cases within 60 days and develop recovery plans within 90 days, while also addressing forensic backlogs to prevent cases from going cold.
