My neighbor is making up false stories and threatening to kill me and threatening my family. We already got an interdict for him and he still continues with the threats. We have voice recordings of the threats. Can he be sentenced?

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.

When you say that you have an interdict against him, is that an interim interdict or was the interdict already made final?  Also, is it a protection from harassment order, or is it another sort of interdict?
