President Cyril Ramaphosa says government remains committed to working across society to end violence perpetrated against women in the country.
Delivering his State of the Nation Adress (SONA) in Cape Town on Thursday evening, President Ramaphosa highlighted that, as part of these efforts, 65 Thuthuzela Care Centres have been established nationwide, providing critical services to survivors.
Of the country’s 52 districts, 44 have established gender-based violence (GBV) shelters, offering a safe haven for women in need.
“All police stations in the country have victim friendly services, and another 16 sexual offences courts will be established in the next financial year. We continue to work across society to end the violence that is perpetrated against women.
“We have promulgated the National Council on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Act, establishing a national structure to oversee a coordinated response to this crisis. We will ensure that the Council is fully functional and properly resourced,” President Ramaphosa said.
The GBVF cases can be reported through the GBV Command Centre toll-free on 0800 428 428 04 or *120* 7867# from any cellphone. – SAnews.gov.za

So I\’m real good friends with this guy named Juan Ted. Now, Juan is a pretty astonishing guy. He can steal ANYTHING he wants to. Literally anything. It could be the shirt off your back, the wallet in your pocket, or I\’m even sure he\’d find a way to steal your house (And your spouse too). So anyway, one day Juan and I are sitting around watching TV, and they announced that the hope diamond will not be on display anymore and is now getting moved to an undisclosed location. So as we hear this, Juan says \”I\’m gonna steal it\”. Now I know how good Juan is at this kind of stuff, so I just tell him good luck and he goes on his way. Eventually he narrows his search down to a small cave in South Africa. When Juan gets there, he doesn\’t see any guards or anything outside the cave, so he just walks in assuming he was wrong about where the diamond was. He wanders around for a while until he sees a long lit hallway with the hope diamond at the end of it. Confident in his abilities, he strolls over to the diamond and picks it up before realizing its a trap! Suddenly, red lights flashed, armed men came running out, sirens went off. You could hear one of the men say under his breath \”We finally caught Juan Ted.\” But Juan, being the best thief in the world, said \”Not quite. On the count of three, I will disappear.\” As the men looked around confused, Juan began to count. \”Uno. Dos.\” And he disappeared without a tres.
