Speaker Lindi Masina emphasised the importance of joint action, stating, \u201cGBV affects everyone, and prayer for strength and guidance is crucial in combating this issue. Leaders expressed hope that districts and municipalities would establish support systems to address GBV+F,\u201d said Masina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prayer session formed part of the Taking the Legislature to the People (TLP) programme, currently ongoing at the Victor Khanye Local Municipality.
