The African National Congress' Parliamentary Caucus held its annual Lekgotla in Cape Town this weekend, under the theme: "Consolidating People's Power for Social and Economic Development".
Spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo says the Lekgotla was attended by members of the ANC Caucus, members of the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces, including members of the executive.
The lekgotla took place at the start of the month in which South Africa marks Human Rights Day on 21 March.
Mothapo says the Caucus condemned in the strongest terms the unacceptably high levels of sexual and gender-based violence in the South African society, as well as incidents of illegal actions by certain members of some of the country's law enforcement agencies.
He says they reaffirm their commitment to the progressive resolutions of the 53rd National Conference of the ANC, including the National Development Plan, and the programme of action of the National Executive Committee to fundamentally and speedily transform the quality of life of all South Africans.
