A 52-YEAR-OLD was sentenced to a one year imprisonment for contravention of a protection order. Dikeletso Shashape contravened the conditions issued against him by insulting an elderly woman (50), whom he was in a domestic relationship with.
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergeant Timothy Sam said the protection order was issued against Shashape on 8 December 2022.
“The victim who was in possession of a domestic violence protection order, reported the contravention to the police and the accused was arrested.
“The court imposed a one year imprisonment to Shashape for contravention of a protection order. He has also been declared unfit to possess a firearm,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, applauded the Investigating Officer, Detective Sergeant Oageng Moilwa, for ensuring that perpetrators of Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) are brought to book.
Otola also reminded the public that contravening the terms of a protection order is a criminal offence and welcomed the court’s decision to impose an imprisonment sentence.
