“On the 5th September 2020; Presley Chweneyagae physically assaulted his wife. Presley Chweneyagae's wife had refused to hand him his car keys since it was late at night, and she had been concerned about him.

Like any abusive and toxic man, Presley Chweneyagae publicly claimed this was the first time he had ever beaten his wife.”
