On Monday, a Hillcrest police constable appeared in court for allegedly shooting two women in Botha's Hill on Friday.
Powa's Thandiwe McCloy says all sectors of society need to commit to the fight against gender-based violence.
"These horrific incidents of violence against women highlight that South Africa has some of the highest rates of gender-based violence and femicide in the world."
