The minister is flanked by his deputy Nkosi Holomisa, National Commissioner Arthur Frazer, and  Free State/Northern Cape Regional Commissioner Subhashini Moodley.

This as Lamola and his department are today celebrating the life of slain Nomsa Stuurman and other women who fell victim to the hands of inmates around the country. 

Stuurman was repeatedly stabbed to death in March 2019. She is the first woman to have ever been killed while on duty in an attack by an inmate.

Brave women and men gathered in the province to further celebrate Women's Month as the country ends the special month-long celebration of women.

Meanwhile, members of the Free State Emergency Services (EMS) and the South African Police Services (SAPS) are also in attendance.
