The high number of crimes against women, children and the vulnerable sounds a clarion call for everyone to join hands to unite and put an end to this social ill in our society.

Continuous intensified efforts must be created to ensure that the vulnerable groups are protected against cold and callous perpetrators.

On 13 October 2021, a 28-year-old Kwazakele man was sent to prison for 25 years for three counts of rape, kidnapping, sexual assault and causing a child to witness a sexual offence.

These incidents took place in Kwazakele between 2014 and 2019 when the female victims were aged between 7 and 12 years old.
