Karen Milner, who is chair of the Gauteng Region of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies details her experiences after deciding to lodge a crimen injuria case against a white supremacist for running a disturbing website. She has since got a restraining order against him after he posted her photos and personal information online.
crimen injuria was brought against Lamprecht by Milner in July last year.
Lamprecht was prohibited from engaging in and attempting to engage in harassment of Milner by posting any pictures or videos to references of her on websites; all references and pictures of applicant and complainant and had to remove and delete from all websites and platforms within 48 hours of the order.
But he continued to post inflammatory material and incite violence even after he was served with the protection notice.
“This is a major milestone and is indicative of the court’s stance that they will not tolerate contempt of their court orders and will authorise the arrest of people who do so,” said Ian Levitt Attorneys acting on behalf of Zeifert.
