The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure

  1. I am not aware of any case of sexual harassment and gender-based violence that have been reported in the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) projects in the past 10 years.
  2. Given that there are no case of sexual harassment and gender-based violence reported in EPWP known to the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, there has been no cases that were prosecuted to secure a conviction of offending parties in the past 10 years.
