Mpumalanga-An anonymous victim of alcohol addiction has come forward in defence of the couple arrested for allegedly operating an illegal rehabilitation centre in Waterval, Mpumalanga. The man says the centre, which also serves as a church, helped him overcome alcohol abuse and provided him with a sense of belonging. He describes the arrested couple as family, crediting them for supporting him on his journey to recovery. The man believes the couple has been wrongly arrested, arguing that their work has helped members of the community struggling with addiction. His account comes amid growing concerns over the availability of rehabilitation services and calls for more support for people battling substance abuse.
