Cabinet condemns gender-based violence and femicide after 13 women are reported killed in Gauteng, following a series of murders in Ekurhuleni, according to government spokespersons. The remarks frame the killings as part of a wider pattern of violence against women.

In response, Cabinet calls for a broader societal reaction to GBVF, beyond law enforcement alone. The government highlights the need for coordinated efforts to prevent further attacks and to address underlying drivers that contribute to violence against women and girls.

While the coverage focuses on the same incident figures and the call for a wider response, the outlet frames the message primarily through statements attributed to Ntshavheni and Cabinet’s position on how society should respond to femicide and GBVF.
