The DA in Limpopo condemns the murder of a 47-year-old police sergeant attached to the Rooiberg police station over the weekend.
We extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.
It is alleged that the victim was murdered by her boyfriend who fled the scene in the victim’s vehicle.
The abandoned vehicle was later found by SAPS who launched a manhunt to apprehend the suspect.
The killing of women and girls based on gender is the highest form of discrimination and continues to increase.
We call on The National Council on Gender-based Violence and Femicide to expedite the roll out of strategies to prevent violence against women and particularly femicide, which has become the new normal in our society.
