“Two taverns were closed down in Marathon informal settlement, while the other two were closed down in Delport and Makause informal settlements.
“We have come to realise that often gender-based violence emanates from liquor abuse.”
Three of the four suspects paid admission of guilt fines and were warned and released, while the fourth suspect will appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court.
