The African National Congress has established a task team to support athlete Caster Semenya and her family, it announced in Johannesburg on Monday.
The team would be led by ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe and would include ANC national executive council (NEC) members Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, said spokesman Jackson Mthembu.
"It is the ANC's view that Caster Semenya has been victimised and subjected to unnecessary public scrutiny, thus denying her right, thereby undermining her dignity," he said.
Mantashe will meet Semenya's family at their home in Limpopo on Tuesday.
'Caster will not be alone to deal with that matter'
"This will enable the ANC to consult the family and get their views on the contents of the support we intend giving," said Mthembu.
The task team would meet Semenya herself later on Tuesday at the University of Pretoria.
