The unresolved cases of woman and child abuse in the Vhembe region have prompted the ANC Women’s League to display their dissatisfaction during a march to launch the 16 Days of activism against woman and child abuse.

They started their march at the gate of Khoroni Hotel in Thohoyandou last Tuesday and marched to the ANC regional offices in Thohoyandou P West. “The ANC being the leader of the society, must be at the forefront of promoting the progamme. We are worried that several cases of woman and child abuse in Vhembe are still unresolved,” said Ms Florence Radzilani, former MEC for safety and security and chairperson of the ANC Women’s League in Vhembe.

She added that the region had started with a programme of action and that they wanted to visit the Thohoyandou and Malamulele Magistrate's Courts on 30 November to investigate these unresolved cases.

Mr Lutanyani Denge, member of the regional executive committee of the ANC, who received the programme of action submitted by the ANC Women’s League, said that their party, through the Freedom Charter, had declared that the people shall govern.
