Court’s Decision

Magistrate Sharon Mashavira dismissed Petronella’s application for an interdict, citing a lack of merit. She did not find sufficient grounds to grant the requested relief.

Conclusion

As the legal proceedings continue, the couple faces the challenge of finding a resolution that ensures the safety and stability of all parties involved. We hope that they can sit down together and talk through without violence. Cases of couple having a dispute and resolving to physical violence are on a rise as indicated by a recent report by H-Metro, of a UK man who murdered his wife.
