Director Kgosietsile Ngakaagae said the DPP has established a specialised sexual violence unit to deal with cases involving sexual offences. He explained that the unit is designed to provide focused attention and build expertise in handling sensitive cases.

“We have created a specialised unit to deal with sexual violence cases. This will allow us to give these matters the attention they require,” he said.
