The Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Bulelani Magwanishe will on Thursday (18 April 2013), address the community and other key stakeholders as part of the Anti-Rape campaign at the Reiger Park Community Hall in Boksburg.
Deputy Minister Magwanishe will be joined by the Gauteng MEC for Social Development, Ms Nandi Mayathula-Khoza and the Executive Mayor of Ekurhuleni, Councillor Mondli Gungubele.
The Anti-Rape campaign was launched by President Jacob Zuma in February. It is aimed at educating and raising stakeholder awareness about rape so as to encourage victims to report assaults and discourage potential offenders.
As part of the campaign, Deputy Minister Magwanishe will conduct door-to-door visits to families who have been affected by rape; visit the places of safety where the victims are sheltered, distribute rape-care kits and blankets to four police stations; and address the community and other key stakeholders.
The event will be held as follows:
Date: Thursday, 18 April 2013
