BREAKING #JacoSwart has pleaded guilty to assault GBH for the vicious attacks on his estranged wife Nicoleen. The matter was struck off the roll last year. Then @Afriforum’s Private Prosecution Unit got involved and made representations to the DPP.
#JacoSwart Surveillance footage captured Swart punching, kicking and pushing his wife Nicoleen. Sometimes in front of their children. The vicious assaults left Nicoleen with cuts and bruises. In one attack, he kicks her in the face; in another, he kicks her between her legs.
#JacoSwart In another attack, Swart gives Nicoleen an ice pack to deal with her bust up eye. While she was seated on a couch, he launched a flying kick into her face. Swart goes by the nickname “Hooligan”. Footage of these attacks will be made available.
