The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) Mpumalanga Office, under the leadership Commissioner HRH Eurika Mogane and Provincial Manager Ms. Moltah Mavuso, is proud to see our advocacy translate into tangible resources for our communities.
The recent handover of 128 new South African Police Service vehicles on the 31st of March 2026, is a monumental step toward closing the gap between reporting a crime and seeing justice served.

Through our rigorous oversight and investigative hearings, we identified critical barriers that forced many survivors to withdraw their cases:
1) Response Times: A severe shortage of vehicles meant police often couldn’t attend to GBV calls or domestic violence scenes promptly.
2) Investigative Delays: Detectives lacked the mobility to visit witnesses or gather evidence, leading to dockets gathering dust and survivors losing hope.
3) FCS Unit Gaps: Our findings specifically highlighted that Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offences (FCS) units were under-resourced, directly impacting the most vulnerable.

These vehicles aren’t just transport; they are tools for accountability. They will:
โ
Shorten response times to active GBV scenes.
โ
Empower detectives to fast-track investigations and keep dockets moving.
โ
Increase police visibility in rural areas where access to justice is often hardest to reach.
โ
Support victims by ensuring officers can reach them for feedback and support.

1) September 2024: The CGE held a high-profile investigative hearing with SAPS and the NPA in Mpumalanga to probe the alarming rate of case withdrawals. This was the same day that Commission HRH Princess Eurika Mogane started as a Commissioner in the CGE.
2) October 2025: We published our comprehensive Report on the Investigation and Withdrawal of Sexual Offences Cases in Mpumalanga, which formally recommended the urgent standardisation of resourcing and vehicle allocation.
Commissioner HRH Eurika Mogane and the Commission for Gender Equality remains committed to ensuring that “gender mainstreaming” is not just a policy on paper, but a reality for every person in our province. We wish to applaud MEC Mec Jackie Macie – Dcssl for the sense of urgency regardless of tight budgets.
We will continue to monitor these resources to ensure they are used for their intended purpose: protecting our people.
