KicksOff 16 Days of Activism against GBVF Campaign 

The Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG) will on Tuesday, 25 November 2025, launch the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign. The campaign will run from Tuesday, 25 November 2025 to Wednesday, 10 December 2025, under the theme “Letsema: Men, Women, Boys and Girls working together to end GBVF”. 

Members of the media are invited as follows: Date: Tuesday, 25 November 2025 Time: 13h00 Venue: Orlando Community Hall 

The campaign seeks to raise awareness about the widespread issue of Gender-based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) and to inspire collective action across all sectors of society. This year’s campaign emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of GBVF, promoting positive masculinity and gender equality, while emphasising the importance of men, women, boys and girls working together to combat GBVF. MEC for Social Development, Faith Mazibuko, is expected to lead a colloquium during the launch, to enable meaningful engagement between government, civil society, academia, and GBVF service recipients. 

It aims to create space for survivors' voices to be heard, ensuring that the campaign reflects lived experiences and not just policy intentions. GBVF Brigades together with stakeholders including the Community Patrollers will be on the ground, conducting door-to-doors ahead of the formal programme to bring awareness around GBVF and allow early detection of GBV. In addition, various programmes will be conducted throughout the campaign, in the five regions of Gauteng to highlight the role of the provincial government in driving an integrated approach to the fight against GBVF. 

This underscores government’s commitment to prevent violence, ensure the protection and support of GBV survivors, provide the necessary justice and dignity they deserve. 

“The recent marches across our province and the country demonstrate that we must act with urgency and respond to the matter with practical solutions. 

We envisage this year’s campaign to be impactful and responsive to the needs of citizens,” said the Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
