President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to address South Africans on Tuesday evening on the government’s response to gender-based violence and femicide. The address also includes an update on investigations into the murders of women in and around Ekurhuleni.
The notice indicates the focus is both on policy and implementation—what government is doing to address GBVF—and on the status of ongoing criminal investigations tied to cases in the Ekurhuleni area. The available reporting does not provide further details on the specific measures Ramaphosa will announce, the investigative progress to date, or any named suspects.
Across the information provided, the key common thread is the timing (Tuesday evening) and the dual purpose of the speech: to outline response efforts to GBVF and to inform the public about investigative developments regarding recent women’s murders near Ekurhuleni.
