The South African Local Government Association (Salga) Women’s Commission has strongly condemned the recent spate of violent murders and rapes of women, and has called on municipalities to dedicate more resources to fighting the scourge.
This emerged at the recent Salga Women’s Summit, where a special candle was lit and a moment of silence was observed in honour of victims of the violence.
The summit took place against the backdrop of a recent series of brutal rapes and murders of women.
