Fourteen policewomen from various South African Police Service units in East London gathered at Masimanyane’s Zanempilo office for the sexual offences training seminar held last week. The event formed part of Masimanyane’s 16 Days of Activism campaign. According to counsellor Ntomboxolo Ntengo, the objective of the seminar was to educate policewomen on the Sexual Offences Act and discuss its implications. “[The Act] is a good thing but it is not working well. For instance, some police know nothing about this act.
