Good evening Minister,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Louisa and I am reaching out to you tonight regarding a distressing incident involving my sister. She has recently been subjected to threats of physical violence from her husband, who frequently makes such threats when he succumbs to his violent temper.

In a commendable act of bravery, my sister mustered the courage to report the situation to the Randfontein Police station. She opened a case, hoping that the authorities would take swift action to protect her from further harm. However, to our dismay, the response from the police took an unexpected turn. Despite the severity of the threats made against her, they claimed that since he had not physically harmed her, there was nothing they could do.

This turn of events has left us deeply concerned and confused. We firmly believe that threats to cause harm or even take someone's life should be treated as criminal offenses. It is disheartening to witness the lack of support and protection for victims of domestic violence, especially when they summon the courage to seek help.

As I write this, it is approaching midnight, and my sister is terrified to return home after informing her husband about opening a case against him. Given the police's inability to provide the necessary assistance, we are left wondering where women in similar situations should turn to for the protection they desperately need.

Minister, I humbly request your guidance and advice on this matter. It is crucial that we establish a reliable and effective support system for victims of domestic violence, ensuring their safety and well-being. I trust in your commitment to addressing such pressing issues and look forward to your response.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Louisa
