A MAN who was sick of allegedly being bullied by his sister applied for a protection order.
It seems the woman was angry about the protection order, which barred her from coming anywhere near their family home in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni.
On Thursday, 28 March, she allegedly forced her way into the yard and started threatening her brother with a knife.
The woman who was renting a place somewhere else allegedly charged at her brother with a knife and started swearing at him.
She's now behind bars.
Lieutenant-Colonel Kelebogile Thepa, spokeswoman of the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD), said Metro cops had arrested a 30-year-old woman for the contravention of a protection order.

"Her 35-year-old brother alleges that his sister asked for the main house keys, and he didn't have them. The suspect advanced to the unlocked house and without any warning, she started calling the complainant an infertile person, further instructing the complainant not to play with her children anymore," said Thepa.
Thepa said as the exchange of words escalated, the suspect took out a knife and intimidated the complainant, while the physical altercation continued.
"That was when the complainant defended himself by slapping her. She (the attacker) continued insulting him, uttering worrying statements like, ‘the child that he has is not his’."
"While this abuse and brandishing of a knife continued, the complainant was all along, armed with the protection order against the suspect. He went to Daveyton Police Station to report her."
The EMPD officers located the suspect at her residential place, and she was arrested and detained at the Daveyton Police Station for violating a protection order.
The suspect appeared in the Daveyton Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 2 April, and the case was postponed to 15 April.
