Following the commitment recently made by the North West Community Safety and Transport Management on strengthening the fight against crime, the department led the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prayer session at Dinokana village, near Zeerust.
The Chief Director for the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service, Mpho Maleme, called on victims not to withdraw their cases and explained the role of the department in ensuring that police services communities according to the law.
“We are responsible to ensure that you get the service that you deserve at police stations and upon our investigations, we are able to re-register your case should we find discrepancies from the police side upon their investigation.
“The prayer session was organised under the District Development Model (DDM), where a number of government departments such as National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, South African Police Services, Home Affairs, Social Development and South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), presented to communities on their services, particularly on dealing with cases of Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBV&F),’ she said.
