: Before participating in the study, the researchers provided each participant with an information leaflet that explained what the study was about. After this, the participants were provided with a consent form, which they had to read and sign as an indication that they voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. All the questions that the participants raised were answered honestly by the researchers, and all the important ethical aspects were fully explained to the participants. Participants were also informed that should they feel uncomfortable at any stage, they had the right to withdraw without any consequences. Ethical approval was obtained from the North-West University Health Research Ethics Committee (NWU-HREC) with the ethics number NWU-00009–23-A1.
