The Kempton Park Magistrates Court found Mr Ruan Verhoef guilty on charges of malicious damage to property.
What happened:
In August 2016, Mr Verhoef became aggressive towards an NSPCA Inspector who was undertaking an inspection of a pit bull show in Kempton Park.
Mr Verhoef grabbed Inspector Nadia Hansa’s camera, removed the memory card, destroyed it and threw the camera back at her.
Inspector Hansa opened a case against Mr Verhoef, and he was subsequently sentenced to a fine of R4,000, suspended for five years.
The court also issued an order to pay the NSPCA R800, and he was declared unfit to own a firearm.
