An 82-year-old woman, who was assaulted by her grandson, Luvo Ngqaza, in their home in the Western Cape, has obtained a protection order against him.
National Prosecution Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said the protection order was granted on July 12, several days after a video showing the man beating up his grandmother circulated on social media.
Ntabazalila said Ngqaza was released on a warning on Monday.
“The Kuilsriver magistrate's court granted the elderly Kraaifontein woman, Sindiwe Ngqaza, a protection order and released her grandson on warning with conditions which include that he must attend his trial, stay at [his sister's address], attend school regularly, and be placed under house arrest from Friday afternoon until Monday morning,” said Ntabazalila.
The case against the matric pupil was postponed to September.
