He also urged men not to shy away from reporting any abuse committed on them by partners to the police. He described Khayelitsha as a hotspot for GBV and domestic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fatheranation.co.za\/\">Father A Nation<\/a> (FAN) mentor Victor Pike said his organisation&#8217;s mandate is to assure women and children that \u201cthere are still good men around, and we lead by example. We aim to be role-models to young people.&#8221;\u00a0Speaking on behalf of Police Commissioner for Khayelitsha Sub-District Brig Mnoneleli Magobiyane, Col Bambelela Ngxaki told the gathering that the police stations had vowed to prioritise the GBV cases. He cited illegal shebeens as being a contributing factor in escalating GBV cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost cases occur when people are under the influences of liquor. Most shebeens don\u2019t close at night and this causes people to drink the whole night. That is when they start to fight.\u201d He said the police were working more closely with various stakeholders, including the Youth Desk, Women\u2019s Network, Men for Change, among other entities, to change perspectives and behaviours, particularly among males. Ngxaki said the 16 Days of Activism are not enough to fight GBV; a whole culture has to be influenced and transformed, a process that takes time in seeing desired results taking root.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to fight gender-based violence members of\u00a0Khayelitsha Sub-District\u00a0Spiritual Crime Prevention Forum (SCPF) together
