High Court condones Minister of Police’s six-year delay in delivering his plea

Tuesday 25 November 2025 marked the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children (16 Days), a period in which we are all annually called to stand firmly against gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) and which spotlights the executive, legislative and judicial branches of Government’s crucial role in this ongoing fight. On the heels of GBVF being classified a national disaster, three High Court, Western Cape Division, judges – Thulare J, Fortuin J, and Adams AJ – marked the beginning of the 16 Days period by delivering their judgment in favour of the Minister of Police (Minister), effectively allowing the Minister’s feeble explanations for an astonishing six-year delay in the delivery of his plea in a matter that relates to the sexual abuse and rape of a then 18-year-old transgender woman while in police custody to pass judicial scrutiny. A period meant to mark renewed vigour, solidarity, and commitment to the collective fight against GBVF instead began with judicial disappointment.
