Today on Style in the City, we tackle one of the most pressing and painful issues facing our society — gender-based violence. It’s a crisis that affects countless women, often behind closed doors and in silence. But amidst the darkness, there are voices rising, not only in protest but in power.

Joining us is Mark Govender — a seasoned personal trainer, martial artist, and coach with over two decades of experience. Mark has dedicated much of his career to working with survivors of abuse and empowering women through fitness, self-defence, and mental resilience.We’ll explore how physical strength and mental conditioning can become tools of healing and protection, and how his nationwide empowerment sessions are changing lives.
