We had Seargent Nondumiso Mncwabe from the Amanzimtoti Police Station provide the women with details and resources on how to get help from the SAPS when faced with gender-based violence. We also shed light on women purposefully making time for themselves and touched on a healthy mind and healthy body,” said Sandra.
