South Africa’s Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says funding interventions for gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) will be considered in the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) following a memorandum submitted by the African National Congress Women’s League (ANCWL). The ANCWL presents its demands after President Cyril Ramaphosa classifies the GBVF crisis as a national disaster, a move that increases urgency for government support and resource allocation. According to the report, the ANC Women’s League delivers its memorandum to Godongwana outlining what it says is needed to address GBVF effectively, including considerations for additional or targeted funding measures. Godongwana’s response indicates that the proposals and the broader national-disaster classification will inform how GBVF support is addressed in the upcoming budget planning process. The statement does not specify amounts or timing, but it places the issue within the budget framework expected through the MTBPS. Overall, the accounts converge on the submission of the ANCWL memorandum, Godongwana’s indication of budget consideration through the MTBPS, and the backdrop of GBVF being treated as a national disaster.
