The South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa has admitted that his government’s response to gender-based violence and feminicide has not been given enough urgency. At a presidential summit four years ago, a strategic plan was drawn up with the goal of combatting what Ramaphosa called the country’s second epidemic. But at a presidential summit on Tuesday, civil society called Ramaphosa and the government out - saying little or nothing has been done. From April to June this year, more than 800 women and close to 250 children have been killed in South Africa. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Cape Town Nadine Theron tells us more.
