Public Protector report on GBV welcomed
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DJCOD) has welcomed the Public Protector’s report into systemic administration deficiencies relating to gender-based violence (GBV) within the justice system.
On Tuesday, Public Protector Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka released a report into gender-based violence and the responsiveness of the criminal justice system to the scourge.
This after a woman, Altecia Kortje and her child, were brutally murdered in 2020 by her former boyfriend after she had gone to the Belville Magistrate’s Court to apply for a domestic violence protection against him. She was allegedly turned away by court officials.
Following reports of the murder and the treatment Kortje received at the court, DJCOD Deputy Minister John Jeffery approached the Public Protector to investigate the matter.
Following the release of the report, Jeffery commended the work of that office.
“We want to commend the Public Protector for this very useful investigation, which focuses not only on the Department of Justice, but also on the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Department of Social Development as key stakeholders in the justice system.
“The implementation of the proposed remedial action is vital. The justice system has to be responsive to the needs of those seeking assistance. These are matters which affect the daily lives of women in a very real way, therefore we must ensure that the system is made less cumbersome and more user-friendly,” he said.
Jeffery added that the report honours the memory of Kortje.
“On Saturday, it will be four years to the day that Altecia Kortje came to Bellville Magistrate’s Court for a protection order. This report honours her memory and the memories of so many other women who have lost their lives to gender-based violence.
“The Public Protector’s report will help the justice system to better protect women against GBV and to save lives,” Jeffery said.
Although the investigation did not find that Kortje was turned away from the court, Jeffrey emphasised that it did raise concern about the treatment of women when they approach the courts for help, particularly when it comes the GBV matters.
“The ability of the justice system to serve and support women who come to seek justice services or assistance from the courts is an absolute priority for us, and we must continuously seek ways in which it can be improved,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za

All grades of fuel decrease for June
Consumers are expected to feel some relief this month as the price of all grades of fuel are expected to fall.
This was announced by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) in a statement on Tuesday.
The decreases are as follows:
The department explained the factors influencing the adjustments in prices.
“The average Brent Crude oil price decreased from 88.10 US Dollars (USD) to 82.98 USD per barrel, during the period under review.
“The average international product prices decreased following the lower Brent Crude oil prices during the period under review. Furthermore, petrol prices were also affected by the release of inventories by the US ahead of the Memorial holiday. The movement in product prices has led to a lower contribution to the Basic Fuel Price (BFP) of petrol by 76.16 c/l, diesel by 60.00 – 71.00 c/l and illuminating paraffin by 50.20 cents per litre.
“The Rand appreciated, on average, against the US Dollar (from 18.90 to 18.45 Rand per USD) during the period under review when compared to the previous one. This led to lower contributions to the Basic Fuel Prices of all products by about 30.00 cents per litre on all products,” the department said.
The price adjustments are expected to take effect on Wednesday (tomorrow). – SAnews.gov.za
