She adds that many people have been victims of Gender-Based Violence but were not able to get justice, with some even losing their lives.

“Seeing that a lot of people have faced sexual assault and have been killed but did not get justice is sad. So today we are correcting that mistake and making sure that anyone who has been sexually assaulted or died as a result of GBV gets justice. I am really proud of South Africa.
