Respect and discipline should serve as premise to combat gender violence
18 September 2019
The lack of mutual respect and discipline is the root cause of gender violence in South Africa. Contributing factors, like incompetence and corruption in the police service and the criminal justice system, have made the problem even worse.
Since President Cyril Ramaphosa's very first State of the Nation Address (SONA), the FF Plus has reiterated many times that the president of the country has an obligation when it comes to nation building.
And yet since 1994, the Afrikaner has been oppressed in various ways, like having their language undermined.
The reason why this happens, which is also related to gender violence, is that there is an absolute lack of respect. There seems to be no self-respect, no respect for others or our differences.
