[PRECEDENCE SET] Former estate agent #VickiMomberg sentenced THREE YEARS TO JAIL - with one year suspended - for using the K-word 48 times against police officers.

Ms Momberg, an estate agent, was caught on video in 2016 hurling
insults and complaining about the “calibre of blacks in Johannesburg
compared to black people in Durban" – where she was based.
The
court had already found her guilty of four counts of "crimen injuria" or
injury to someone's dignity - one for each of the officers who was
verbally assaulted.
Ms Momberg's lawyer has argued that her client
was traumatised by the smash-and-grab incident and that she did not
have full control of her faculties when she began abusing the police
officers, IOL news site reports.
Ms Momberg had said she would lodge an appeal against any sentencing.
