If Babes Wodumo goes ahead and drops assault charges against musician Mampintsha, her actions might have far-reaching effects on the fight against women abuse, gender activist Mbuyiselo Botha has warned.
"It doesn't negate or take away from the fact that Mampintsha is abusive. We all know that on average, a woman will try to leave an abusive relationship seven times before she eventually leaves for good," Ncube pointed out.
"There is a lot of psychological and emotional trauma that comes with being in an abusive relationship. Unfortunately, one of them is wanting to forgive and reconcile with your abuser," Ncube said. "At the end of the day it's a violation of someone's right. It's a criminal offence to assault someone," she said.
