00:04Campton Park, east of Johannesburg, to protest against gender-based violence

01:17promptly and professionally with appropriate communication to victims, families and survivors within the limits of the law.
01:27It does not matter where you are. It does not matter what you do.
01:32You are still going to subject yourself in the hands of criminality because you could be taking someone in the
01:39streets where they might have been most likely to be safer.
01:43You take them to a home only to be killed inside their own bedroom.
