  • PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY (Tuesday, 26 November 2019)

I have not heard a nay-voice. I think we all need to stand up and say, enough is enough! Real men don't maim and kill women. (Minister's Response)

  • ← We are calling on ourselves to work around the scenes and crimes of passion and to look how we work around ... We are not saying that this is a crime of passion, but we are working around male partners, including the young police officer in Tzaneen that was shot and killed by the husband. We need to look around those things and we must all condemn it, but the state organs must really respond decisively to the people that are especially maiming and killing women, starting now. Thank you. (Minister's Response)
  • However, as the former Minister and the current Minister have both said, he is entitled to look at other remedies - applications to the President for pardon or other such remedies. So that is there, but he cannot just be released by the President without following due process. Thank you. [Interjections.] (Minister's Response) →
  • Deputy Minister Of Justice And Correctional Services 26 Nov 2019 hansard

    Chair, I just want to respond to the statement on the operation of the National Register for Sex Offenders. It is correct. It is currently operational and we will be bringing legislation to this House early in the new year to extend the register, to cover all acts of sexual offences and to broaden the aspect of who can apply to have a look at the register.

    With regard to the issue of Kanye Cekeshe, he is ... We are a state that is based on the supremacy of the Constitution and the rule of law. So, he was imprisoned by the court. He has appealed against the sentence. He cannot just be released. You must also remember that he has not been imprisoned for struggling for free education. He has been imprisoned because he was found guilty of burning a police vehicle. That is the fact.

    The problem is that in many of the public protests there is a large amount of damage to property. There was a large amount of damage to property that was caused during the protests for free education.
