“You people should tell Afia Schwarzengger the contempt she has been sentenced to, she should come and serve the jail term because if they catch her, the court may even sentence her for a bench warrant and she will spend Christmas in prison,” he said.

“If you don't take care, Afia, you will spend Christmas in prison. If you are watching me. Take the whips from the cane faster, it's just ten days,Go and come back. Also, if you go and come back and speak anyhow, I will take you to court again. That's me,” he added.
