Thank you for your answer, Mr President. Two days ago, I wrote a newspaper report about a 91-year-old grandmother who told journalists that she has suffered abuse for more than 20 years, allegedly at the hands of her own son. She told them that being in her own home is like being in hell because of the abuse that she and her two grandchildren have endured over the years from her 53-year-old son who is allegedly very aggressive and has even attempted to rape his own mother after telling her that he wanted to sleep with her.
Now, my question, hon President is: How will this R1,1 billion that has been redirected to the fight against gender-based violence benefits such grandmothers who live in fear of their lives and are being abused and raped by family members or members of their communities who take advantage of them due to their age and fragility?
Mr President, this grandmother is crying for help. So, is there anything that the President can say now - hoping that it will reach her ears that something is going to be done by the President - which will ensure that her own son, who has applied for bail and whose case will be heard next week, is not released to go back to her at home to abuse her? Thank you.
