Question posted in the General Law category relating to Western Cape
I have a problem with my abusive father and he has opened a case for me and I was kept in custody for almost a month. We had some sort of a altercation and he gathered his friends to come beat me and right after that he opened a case for me. I went to the nearest hospital and I had to was stitched as well. So I would like to know if can I also open a case against him and his friends?
