One of the infamous Boeremag members, found guilty of treason, has failed to secure conjugal visits with his wife in jail.
Wilhelm Pretorius also asked the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria for the right to have a cell phone while in prison.
The court found that there is no law or section in the Constitution that allows for conjugal visits, and that being incarcerated comes with the limitation of rights.

Judge Jody Kollapen has denied Boeremag member Dr Wilhelm Pretorius monthly three-hour conjugal visits with his wife.
Pretorius had petitioned the court to be allowed the monthly three-hour visits with his wife, as well as access to a cell phone, explains John Maytham.
Both requests were denied by Judge Jody Kollapen, arguing the law does not expressly recognise these rights and said that the right to a conjugal visit is inconsistent with incarceration.
John talks to Prof Lukas Muntingh, Project Coordinator at the Africa Criminal Justice Reform Centre at the University of the Western Cape, who says there are countries where conjugal visits are allowed.
