南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨在电视讲话中发出呼吁，要求男性在对抗性暴力问题上发挥更大作用，并宣布了一系列政府干预措施1。拉马福萨表示"男人们是时候停止沉默了"1，此番发言是在埃库鲁莱尼地区发生一系列针对女性的暴力事件后做出的。
自7月15日以来，埃库鲁莱尼地区已发现11具女性尸体，其中8具在最近三周内被发现1。失踪人员包括跑步者伊丽莎白·莫塞拉克戈莫，她于9月12日被发现，此前在下班后外出跑步时失踪1。警方已在三起杀人案中逮捕嫌疑人，尚未发现串联杀手作案的证据，但所有可能性仍在调查中1。
为应对这一危机，拉马福萨宣布警方将在60天内审查所有未解决的谋杀、企图谋杀和针对妇女儿童的严重性犯罪案件，并制定有资金支持的计划以减少法证积压1。此外，五名部长被指派在同一期限内制定措施以减少酒精引发的暴力1。地方政府则被要求在五个月内解决影响妇女安全的具体问题，包括修缮破损的路灯、清理繁茂的公共空间和处置废弃建筑1。
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has launched a series of measures to combat rising violence against women, urging men to take a stand against the epidemic. During a television address, Ramaphosa stated that "it is time for good men to stop being silent men" 1, emphasizing the responsibility of male citizens in confronting gender-based violence.
The announcement follows a disturbing series of killings in the Ekurhuleni area, where 11 female bodies have been discovered since July 15, with 8 of those found in the preceding three weeks 1. Among the victims was Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo, a runner who was found on September 12 after disappearing during an evening jog following her work shift 1. Police have arrested suspects in three of the murder cases, though investigators have found no evidence of a serial killer at this stage, with all possibilities remaining under investigation 1.
To address the crisis, Ramaphosa announced that police will conduct a comprehensive review of unsolved murders, attempted murders, and serious sexual crimes against women and children within 60 days, while developing a funded plan to reduce the forensic case backlog 1. Local government authorities have been given five months to address safety hazards affecting women, including broken street lights, overgrown public spaces, and abandoned buildings 1. Additionally, five cabinet ministers have been tasked with developing a plan within 60 days to reduce alcohol-fueled violence 1.
