Govt moves to tackle GBV, ritual murders
Capricorn Review
|August 20, 2025
PROVINCIAL Government has raised alarm over the growing cases of gender-based violence (GBV) and ritual murders in the Vhembe district, following a special extended executive council meeting held in Polokwane on August 13.
The council received reports from the police and the Department of Health’s forensic pathology services which revealed disturbing trends, including acts of violence committed within families.
One shocking case cited was that of a police officer who fatally shot his partner in the Collins Chabane Municipality.
The incident sparked violent retaliation from community members, a reaction that the Premier, Dr Phophi Ramathuba described as deeply troubling.
