A jealous man who refused to be divorced by his ex-girlfriend was convicted by Plumtree magistrate on Friday.
Adam Maphosa (34) was sentenced to 13 months by magistrate Joshua Nembaware.
Nembaware conditionally suspended seven months of the sentence on condition of good behaviour.
Prosecutor Selestine Madziwa told the court that on January 29, Maphosa went to his ex-girlfriend Sibonelo Banda’s house.
Upon arrival he demanded sex and was denied after which he became violent.
Maphosa assaulted Banda with a wooden log all over the body.
