25 July 2025- A man (21) was sentenced to three years imprisonment by the Carnarvon Regional Court for assault. This comes after the accused, Frankie Magang’s violent attack on his ex-girlfriend in Vosburg.
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergeant Timothy Sam said the incident occurred over two consecutive days from 10 until 11 December 2024. Sam said the victim was in the process of ending the relationship when Magana physically assaulted her.
“On the second day, as the victim attempted to flee to her parents in Britstown, the accused tracked her to a hitch-hiking spot and continued the assault. Magang was found guilty of assault with intent to cause Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) and sentenced to three years imprisonment.
“The sentence was wholly suspended for five years on the condition that he does not commit a similar offence during this period. Additionally, he was declared unfit to possess a firearm,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Pixley ka Seme District Police Commissioner, Major General Nomana Mtukushe, commended the Investigating Officer, Detective Constable Albertina Bedwell of the Carnarvon Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit, for her dedication and professionalism in securing the conviction.
