Reservoir Hills resident Azhar Jacob was declared unfit to own or be in charge of any canines for a period of two years.

Justice was served five years and eight months later for a dog that was found with burn wounds all over its body in Reservoir Hills, Durban.

“Our inspector, Petros Simamane, responded, and on arrival at the property, a worker let our inspector onto the property and took him to the office of Azhar Jacob. “He alleged that he had called the Durban and Coast SPCA for help, but ‘they had not come’. It was later confirmed, in an affidavit, that no call had been received by the Durban and Coast SPCA. Inspector Petros Simamane then asked to see the dog, and Jacob asked one of his workers to take our inspector to the dog, a ‘Boerboel male, who is tan in colour’.”“He had raw, open and infected wounds, which appeared to be burn wounds, all over his body, including his head, ears and eyes.

The ‘unnamed’ severely injured and suffering dog was rushed to the Kloof and Highway SPCA clinic and assessed by veterinarian Dr Cara Andreasen.
