The ID’s member of the Western Cape’s provincial parliament and provincial executive member of the DA Rodney Lentit said he is very concerned over the fact that a lot of young girls and women are victim to sexual assaults.


This comes after he welcomed amendments to the Sexual Offences Act on Wednesday.

He said these victims have already endured trauma and as a result experienced more trauma when some perpetrators were nearly released.


Lentit says he will bring the matter up in Parliament so that they can discuss and debate this.
