We want no bail, no parole for rapists, killers of women, Ramaphosa says at gates of Parliament
5 September 2019
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday promised a sea of women outside the gates of Parliament that he would address the nation in a "very clear and definite way" on how the government would fight gender-based violence.
"Yes, all of us have had enough of this," he told thousands of protesters calling for intervention on violence against women.
"We are now going to take action."
Initially met with a hostile reception after telling protesters "I know what you are all going through", he was later applauded by the crowd after announcing that he would be addressing the issue in a public address later in the day.
