Mokwena, who specialises in domestic violence matters, has seen thousands of reports ranging from sexual assault to physical violence and has never shied away from helping those who are in need.
“There are ways in which we ensure the safety of our community members and the safety of the victims of domestic violence. There is nothing that is too great a challenge for us, we won’t let someone leave without assisting them.”
