Protection order spares legal practitioner Sarah Price Jones’ life
When Sarah's life was threatened and she was tiresomely stalked, a protection order shielded her. It can do the same for anyone and everyone.
On Keri’s Couch, we have legal practitioner Sarah Price Jones, whose life was at stake when former clients threatened to murder her and, in the process, continued stalking her. Fortunately, a protection order helped her continue her life freely.
In the SAPS statistics, 2020/2021's shocking numbers indicated that there was a 6.6% rise in murder in the country. 50,124 cases of assault were opened with police in just three months. With statistics of this nature, thoughts of buying a weapon to protect yourself are inevitable. That could be a last resort as the protection order can do that for you.

These were followed by violent and graphic murder threats because of the legal practice she implemented into the process. Sarah was being harassed as far as being stalked at her workplace.

It will prevent the perpetrator from...

- Entering the joint residence or entering a specific part of the residence
- Entering the victim’s residence if they are not living together
- Entering the victim’s place of employment/office
- Having contact with a child/children, if it is in the best interest of the child
