The second Presidential Summit on Gender Based Violence and Femicide starts today in Midrand. The summit was in response to the 24 demands submitted by the #TheTotalShutdown Intersectional Women's Movement to President Cyril Ramaphosa  following 27 nationwide marches on 1 August 2018. Organisations that are at the frontline of the battle against Gender Based Violence and Femicide, say the first presidential summit that was held in a bid to dent the scourge, has failed to make a difference. They hope that the second summit will deliver reforms that will compel the criminal justice system to prioritise justice for victims. This as many victims still claim that they are being failed by the police and the judiciary. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Mandisa Khanyile of Rise Up against gender based violence

Former Justice Minister Dr Penuel Maduna says South Africans had to engage among themselves to shape their own future, a process that eventually led to the establishment of CODESA. Maduna is testifying at the TRC cases inquiry. He says following Nelson Mandela's release on 11 February 1990, various groups began engaging to find a peaceful way forward after much violence in the country under apartheid. Maduna disputes claims that former President Thabo Mbeki appointed someone to coordinate these discussions, saying they instead approached various political leaders and groups directly to facilitate meetings.
