Deputy Minister Buti Manamela will visit the gender based violence command centre in Groenkloof, Pretoria. The Command centre was set up as a result of the work of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Gender Based Violence.
The purpose of the visit is to establish the operation of the command centre and ways in which students can also be assisted in this centre.
Deputy Minister Buti Manamela will be accompanied by the CEO of HEAIDS which is tasked with the wellness and health of students.
Gender based violence at higher education institutions needs to be curbed as it interferes with students’ lives and careers. It is for this reason that we are finding preventative as well as corrective measures to deal with this scourge.
