There is only one judge in the country thats allowed to issue a phone tap order at the moment Balie Swart. If you have symbian phone most new nokia' phones download a call recorder program like call recorder pro (R20). Once on the phone with your new friend tell him that the call and any future calls are being recorded and that by continuing the conversation it is construed as his express permission for recording the conversation.In sa its illegal to record if you dont inform the other party and he doesnt approve. Tacit approval is also seen as approval. If he makes violent threats against you or your family that you reasonably believe will be carried out you have can open a case of assault for starters. Can possibly be used in an interdict situation. At least you have a voiceprint (as unique as a fingerprint)of the man and proof of the threats made which suddenly makes it the best interests of your friend that nothing actually happens to you. Keep a email copy of the converstion on an external account like gmail. Dont construe the above as legal advice. If nessecary get legal advice from an attorney.
