Through you, Speaker; hon Van der Merwe, the council is not meant to be a silver bullet to this problem. We have to deal with it as a societal problem and therefore mobilise all sections of the South African population. For instance, within the SA National Aids Council, Sanac, we have the men's sector which pays particular attention to this challenge. It's already mobilising the menfolk to say, "not in our name" and "no violence against women and children." That's the attitude. I suppose we need to mobilise sportspeople, traditional leaders, religious leaders and everybody to take a stance against violence perpetrated on women and children.
Most of it takes place in the home setting. We have had discussions with my colleague, Minister Mthethwa, that from the investigation angle, the SA Police Service, SAPS, should also up their game with regard to these cases. Of course, the justice system as well will have to treat these cases as the most serious offences. Thank you.
