The National Treasury says it will allocate R13 billion to different government departments and programmes to fight Gender-Based Violence.

The Treasury’s Ishmail Mamoniat answered questions from delegates at the Presidential Summit on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide in Midrand, Johannesburg.

The summit, which started on Tuesday, is taking place under the theme: “Accountability. Acceleration and Amplification, NOW!” Momoniat explains the government’s capacity to fund civil society: “We have a number of programmes and the question is, are they funded adequately? I have a figure, R13 billion, that I will explain. A budget that we allocate to departments, and from that it’s allocated to the programme. Whatever we spend, is not going to be enough given the scale of the problem that we are dealing with.”

“Secondly, the issue is, what is the capability of the state? Even before state capture it was a problem, and certainly, after state capture, it is a problem,” says Momoniat.

13 billion for non productive business. Sorry

That money will be looted.

How would depts fight GBV, I'm lost. They should rather give that R13b to SAPS to improve their response to GBV.

Please don't forget men are also a gender. The word genger refers to both men and women.

Thieving

13 billion for non productive business. Sorry

Why is the goal giving politicians more money to loot than to send a strong warning to abusers by court actions.... we don't need gorvenment social workers, we need justice and strict laws that will hit abusers the same way they hit our people
