Former Prosecutor Faces Jail for Child Maintenance | Johannesburg News

A former prosecutor in the Free State is facing a 60-day jail sentence—suspended for two years—for wilfully ignoring child maintenance orders, after piling up over six hundred thousand rand in unpaid debts to his three kids. Despite being ordered to pay nine thousand rand monthly since his 2018 divorce and having already defaulted on fifty-eight thousand rand before the split, he’s now been found in contempt of court for deliberately disregarding judicial authority. With just fourteen days to resume payments or risk jail time, the court has directed him to prioritize consistent monthly contributions while the full arrears will be addressed separately by the maintenance court.
