In honour of Women’s Month, she encouraged women throughout the community to take a stand against abuse.
“We must say no to women abuse and women must speak out and not suffer in silence,” she said.
The arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court where their cases were postponed for various reasons.
