NATIONAL NEWS - Alexis Bizos – the son of world-renowned human rights advocate George Bizos – will be privately prosecuted by civil rights group AfriForum’s private prosecution team, led by former State prosecutor Gerrie Nel.
On Tuesday, Nel announced in Pretoria that AfriForum was seeking a nolle prosequi certificate to allow the private prosecution of Alexis Bizos for allegedly physically assaulting his wife Monique van Oosterhout in March 2015.
According to AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel, the alleged assault was so grievous to the extent that Van Oosterhout, who was at the press briefing on Tuesday, sustained six broken ribs.
