Wife beater Jaco Swart reportedly assaulted by a group of men

Wife beater Jaco Swart reportedly was assaulted by a group of unknown men in Gauteng.

WIFE BEATER JACO SWART CLAIMS THE ASSAULT TOOK PLACE LAST WEEK

Swart’s lawyer, Enoch Nethanani, told the Rapport that the alleged assault took place last week. 

According to the publication, Swart said in a voice note to Nethanani that he was beaten and put in the boot of a car.

“I think they hit me over the head, and they loaded me into a car, and I was in a boot for some time… They took me out and kicked me. I remember them saying they are going to break my hands or cut off my hands because I hit women.

“I didn’t know where I was, and then they opened the boot and threw me out, so I don’t know how they got to me.” 

SWART’S LAWYER SAID HE NOW FEARS FOR HIS LIFE

This comes after Swart recently became famous and for all the wrong reasons. He was sentenced earlier this month to a R20 000 fine and a three-year prison sentence, suspended for five years, for assaulting his estranged wife, Nicoleen Swart. 

 AfriForum released videos footage of the brutal assault that captured Swart brutalising, pushing, punching, and kicking Nicoleen at their business in 2018.

Swart pleaded guilty to two charges of assault with the intention to inflict grievous bodily harm against his estranged wife, Nicoleen Swart.

He was sentenced to a R20 000 fine and a three-year prison sentence, suspended for five years, in the Pretoria North Magistrate’s Court on 7 June.

Earlier this month, Gillian Benson, the Action SA’s Head of Strategic Litigation confirmed that the group will go to the NDPP’s office and take any other measure needed to ensure Jaco Swart pays a proper price for his sickening actions:

“ActionSA will request that the NPA urgently appeals the inadequate sentence in this case and calls for a thorough investigation into the prosecutor’s conduct. If our request is rejected, we will escalate the matter to the National Director of Public Prosecutions, Shamila Batohi.

“If this does not result in an appeal being undertaken, we will proceed to our courts or take all other measures available to us. ActionSA will not idly stand by in this case and will never back down for as long as the scourge of gender-based violence exists in South Africa.”

“And if the fight against gender-based violence is going to be more than rhetoric, there must be a collective rejection of this kind of absurd sentencing, in response to such violence and brutality.”
