Sgt Melicia Abrahams and Sgt Carl Zass from Athlone Police Station were recently honoured by the Western Cape Department of Police Oversight and Community for all their hard work, dedication and commitment in serving the community of Athlone, especially with assistance after domestic violence and harassment.
Being a victim of domestic violence herself, Abrahams says the award means a lot to her, especially in Women's Month.
“I was married and my ex-husband not only abused me physically, but also mentally, emotionally, psychologically and financially.
“I just decided God doesn't want me to stay in a marriage or situation where I am less than myself and am undermined.
