How do I apply for a protection order against my partner?
My partner has been verbally and physically abusive. I'm scared to leave. What is a protection order and how do I get one quickly?

Apply for an interim protection order at any Magistrate's Court — it's free and you don't need an attorney. Ask the court clerk for a Form 2. The court can grant an interim order the same day, served on your partner. A return date is set for both parties to appear. If you're in immediate danger: call SAPS on 10111 or go to any police station.
