Minister of Correctional Services Sibusiso Ndebele on Wednesday said electronic monitoring of offenders will ensure it will prompt assistance for victims of domestic violence. 

Minister Ndebele was speaking at the department’s campaign on the 16 days of activism for no violence against women, children and people with disabilities. 

He added that the campaign allows an opportunity to tackle challenges of gender-based violence. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Logan Maistry said this device can notify authorities when the perpetrator is near the victim even when they are drunk.
