150 Jean Triegaardt and Mike Batley after the two individual sessions at RJC. She suggested that ‘if they had visited them regularly, they would have seen things are not right’. They had not signed any written agreements, and the case kept on being postponed. Finally, the case was withdrawn. She claims that she is being beaten again — as recently as a week ago: ‘I am so confused. Don’t know what to do. I have no place to go’. However, she was open to returning to the RJC for mediation. Another respondent maintained that the social worker was taking sides. She did state, though, that mediation brought some understanding of herself as a person. This respondent is thinking about a divorce because she claims that her husband does not financially support her; he has not bought her a house which he promised to do; and he does not come home at times during the week, and even during week-ends. He clearly does not think that he is accountable to her, and the written agreement is not being taken seriously. 4.5.4 Recommendations from the respondents to improve service delivery One of the respondents suggested that a male counsellor should have assisted with the VOC process because she believes that her fiancé would pay attention to a male. She thinks that he is not taking the counselling seriously because on both occasions, at the RJC for the VOC process and at FAMSA for counselling, they had women social workers. After three sessions at FAMSA, they ceased to attend. Another suggestion from a respondent concerning the VOC process was that she thought that the social worker lacked objectivity. She said that the social worker took sides with each individual. This issue is complex because the social worker may have viewed her role as being supportive to each individual while still retaining her impartiality. 5. Conclusion The major test of the efficacy of mediation is to determine the extent to which there has been real behavioural change in the offender, and to what extent this has impacted on the relationship. 30 The VOC process provided temporary relief, the individuals perceived the value of the process, but sustainability became an issue because of a lack of follow-up. Most of the respondents continue to be battered. The individuals who were no longer being battered indicated that the VOC process had been helpful in interrupting the cycle of violence. The written agreements set the agenda for breaking the cycle of violence. Follow-up of all these cases should be mandatory. It seems 30 Dissel & Ngubeni (n 23 above) 8.
Domestic violence in south africa 151 that the potential process of community members holding the abuser accountable does not necessarily materialise. Life skills should be taught to young men and women so that they may have self-introspection, become more aware of their own behaviour, and its impact on other people. At this juncture, hopefully they learn to be assertive rather than aggressive. It is important to continue with the training of magistrates, prosecutors and other criminal justice personnel regarding VOC, so that they may provide the necessary context for appropriate referrals to the RJC. Many women are unaware of their rights with regard to the Domestic Violence Act, and thus it behooves the government to communicate these rights to all women through the media, and to non-governmental organisations through other forms of intervention.
