A woman from the Makause informal settlement recently opened a case against her 36-year-old husband at the Primrose Police Station.
“The woman told officers she had been sitting at home when her husband arrived and without saying anything began to assault her.
“He allegedly then pushed her onto the bed and demanded sex,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
