Heany Junction villages in Umguza District are dealing with a serious spike in domestic violence because bootleg alcohol called njengu is getting sold everywhere by locals at all hours. Patience Ncube Sibanda told a crowd at the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV event that her husband gets violent after drinking the sketchy booze, and tons of other men in Ward 6 are beating up their wives and kids while drunk. The stuff is even reaching underage drinkers since villagers are hawking it out of their homes instead of just licensed spots.

Councillor Busisiwe Brown brought up digital violence as another growing problem, where people share revenge nudes of ex-partners on social media without realizing it lands them in legal trouble. She pointed out that women sometimes grab explicit photos of side chicks from their boyfriend's phones and blast them online, which counts as a crime even though they think they're just getting payback.

Most domestic violence cases get dropped before court because women rely on their abusers financially and can't afford to press charges through completion.
