This study aimed to understand socio-economic, psycho-social, environmental, and historical factors to identify events that may have triggered GBVF, and explore a strategy to assist in responding to GBVF. About 150 participants were interviewed, with a sample comprising of police officers, victims and suspects. In addition, 600 GBVF documents were reviewed with a sample comprising of police dockets, incidence reports, victim support service reports, and protection orders.

Given the limited financial and other resources, the study was piloted in two Capricorn District local municipalities, namely: Polokwane Municipality and Molemole Local Municipality. The said district and its 6 local municipalities were purposively sampled after considering the available funds, and the need to have a predominantly urban and predominantly rural local municipality. It aspires that the project will be cascaded to other districts of the province with time and as resources permit. It is against this background that the study’s findings and recommendations will assist the province to conceive a provincial-wide interventionist approach towards the socio-economic recovery of the province, from the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study findings and recommendations will also provide the Limpopo Government with long-term partnerships, capacity enhancement, and rapid response teams for similar future pandemics and other disasters.
