Deputy Speaker, the DA is not satisfied with a short-timed campaign as it focuses only on 16 days. The DA would like to see the campaign becoming part of daily lives. Parliament passed laws such as the Domestic Violence Act, Firearms Control Act and the Child Justice Act to address the problems of violence.
Re tshwenywa ke go lemoga gore bana ba bant?i ba gola ntle le batswadi ba bona ba bontate.

[We are more concerned about the many children that are growing up without their fathers. Despite this, we are more concerned about perpetual domestic violence, bullying, abuse and killings. Both legal and illegal firearms are still being used. There is an increase in the disappearance of police firearms and police officers are still using their official firearms to kill members of their families.
As the DA we are more concerned about the abuse, violence and killings in the country, especially in the farms. We are aware that offenders continue with their violent activities and there is no security. The statistics from 2001 to 2009 show an estimate of 1 804 people being brutally attacked on the farms and in the rural areas. Knives and spears are used to kill women in the rural areas. An end must be put to this.
Livestock theft is of major concern in the rural areas, because livestock is the source of living to the people who live there. It is clear that livestock theft and attacks in rural areas are on the increase. People are living with fear. Rape and forced marriages among children and women are a violation of human rights.
As the DA we noted that violence, abuse and killing of women and children are of major concern in South Africa. We would like to see the government, the police and the public making an effort to solve these issues. We would like to see the perpetrators - murderers and thieves - sentenced to prison. We would also like to see violence coming to an end through law and justice. Women and children should report cases of abuse to the police.
We appeal to government to strengthen the law and use the existing laws do put an end to the violence, abuse and killings in South Africa. Let the law take its course. As the DA we would like to see government running workshops for the police on various Acts such as... [Applause.]]
... Domestic Violence Act, Child Justice Act and Firearms Control Act ...
... go matlafat?a maphodisa. Re rata go bona mmu?o o lemo?a set?haba ka melao gore set?haba se kgone go fana ka tshedimo?o ge molao o gatakwa goba o tshelwa. Re le ba DA re re mmu?o o swanet?e go dira bonnete bja gore ditshebi t?a dira di a ?irelet?wa. Mmu?o o swanet?e go romela molaet?a o maatla go manaba le bao ba tshelago molao ka kotlo e bohloko. Mmu?o o swanet?e go laet?a bahlori?i le babolai gore bosenyi ga bo lefe.
Mmu?o le ba Kgoro ya Maphodisa ba swanet?e go hlokomela gore dithunya t?a molao ga di ?omi?we go dira boganka. Dithunya t?eo di sego molaong di swanet?e go t?ewa ka mokgwa wa dithibelo mebileng le set?habeng. Bao ba bolayago ba malapa a bona - bana le basadi - ge ba ka hwet?wa ba swanet?e go otlwa ka kotlo e bohloko. Re le ba DA re rata go bona set?haba sa Afrika Borwa, mmu?o le maphodisa ba fedi?a ditlai?o, ditlhori?o le dipolao nageng ka bophara. Re ka kgona ge re ka swari?ana, ra thu?ana pharela ye. A re hlomphaneng, re godi?e Afrika Borwa go ikobela melao.
Re le ba DA re re, a re ageng naga ye botse ya khut?o, ya t?weleopele re le MaAfrika Borwa a "rainbow nation". Re rata go bona kgoelet?o ye ya go ba kgahlanong le bosenyi, tlhori?o le dipolao e eba ye e tsenywago tiri?ong. Ke kgale go bolelwa ka taba ye, efela ga go t?ewe magato. Bjale ke nako ya gore re emelele re t?eeng magato. Ke a leboga. (Translation of Sepedi paragraphs follows.)
[... to empower them. We would like to see government creating awareness around the Acts so that the public can in turn be able to share information in case the law is violated or not observed. As the DA we urge the government to ensure that people who report crime are protected. Government must show the perpetrators that crime does not pay.
The Department of Police must take extra caution to ensure that their firearms are not used randomly. Government should repossess all the illegal firearms through road blocks and other means. If found, those who kill their own family members, especially women and children, must be severely prosecuted. As the DA we would like to see South Africans, both government and the people, put an end to violence, abuse and killings at large. We can do it if we work together against this monster. Let us respect each other and the laws in our country.
As the DA we would like to see the country built into a peaceful progressive one - a rainbow nation. We would like to hear an outcry against crime, violence, abuse and killings. Laws must be implemented. This has been talked about more than enough, but no steps have been taken. It is time to take action. I thank you.]
