The Western Cape High Court has sentenced Mehmet Vefa Dag, president of the Truth and Solidarity Movement, to 90 days in prison for contempt of court.

The ruling, handed down today, Friday, stems from Dag’s defiance of a court order issued on April 16, 2025, in a legal battle with private education group Curro Holdings.

Dag, known for his polarizing rhetoric, had posted defamatory content about Curro Holdings and its employees on social media.

After receiving a lawyer’s letter from Curro, he removed the posts but continued actions that breached the subsequent court order, prompting the contempt charge. The specifics of the April 16 order remain undisclosed, but it likely barred further defamatory statements or related conduct.

The court’s decision underscores the judiciary’s resolve to enforce compliance, with Judge stressing that no one is above the law.

Dag’s sentence will begin on June 5, 2025, at Pollsmoor Prison, according to court records.
