Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Mr Senzo Mchunu, will this Friday, 17 July 2020, visit the OR Tambo District Municipality, in the Eastern Cape to set up interventions that will drive responses to the national crisis of Gender Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) that has gripped the country as it deals with the global Corona Virus pandemic.
Minister Mchunu has been assigned by Cabinet to lead the District as its champion in the implementation of the District Development Model to enhance the capacity of the state. The Minister will therefore interact with all the relevant stakeholders in the District to deliberate on the District’s developmental imperatives.
The Minister will lead the establishment of GBVF intervention programmes in the area to readily respond to the crisis as part of the national response plan of government to fight the scourge.
The plan comes at the time when government has pulled all its resources across the country in an effort to mitigate the effects of the ravaging COVID 19 cases that are growing rapidly on daily basis.
Minister Mchunu is expected to meet with the leadership and relevant stakeholders of the District municipality to come up with Rapid Responses to the GBVF crisis, on the District’s developmental imperatives and on Covid-19 cases.
