The DEPUTY MINISTER IN THE PRESIDENCY FOR WOMEN, YOUTH AND PERSONS
WITH DISABILITIES: I assume the hon member ... I did mention that we have the final date of 30 October for the national strategic plan but also, once that process has been finalised, what will then be important will be to make sure that we begin to put in place implementation mechanisms so that we can hold each other accountable, and have clear leadership on what has been agreed upon as priorities. And when it comes to the question of resources, to also ensure that we do not have challenges in the system whereby people are not able to do what they are supposed to do mainly because of the shortage of resources. As I have said, many of the critical players are not even in government and not public servants
but work has to continue. The challenge which they have had in some instances was the lack of resources but the mobilisation which has taken place through this national strategic plan, has brought together very critical players in this - as I have said - like youth structures, men's structures, LGBT, IQA Plus and faith-based organisations. All these groups are positioning themselves to be held accountable for the role and the contribution they can make in the implementation of the national strategic plan on gender-based violence.
When it comes to government department, the capacitation of the police and their training to ensure successful prosecution and partnership, of course, with social development to monitor closely the Thuthuzela Care Centres, are all the critical priorities that ... monitoring very closely so as to ensure that we work differently, do not to do the things we did yesterday and got bad outcomes in terms of our statistics; but to also do things differently. Unfortunately, hon member, I cannot give you the exact pointers because we're talking about the report which has not been tabled and adopted so that we all know the outcome of the national strategic plan of the gender-based violence, GBV. But we are working on well-known pointers which - as I have said - we have identified and said, in the interim, let's beef them up. Thank you.
