JUDGMENT BY:
VAN DER MERWE, J
_____________________________________________________
DELIVERED ON:
8 DECEMBER 2011
_____________________________________________________
[1]
Apparently due to an administrative error, an amount of R100,00 (one
hundred rand) was paid as an admission of guilt in respect
of driving
a motor vehicle on a public road without keeping a driver’s
licence in the vehicle, in contravention of section
12(b) of Act 93
of 1996. The prosecutor had, however, determined a fine of R50,00
(fifty rand) in terms of sections 57(4) of Act
51 of 1977.
[2]
In the result the deemed sentence of R100,00 (one hundred rand) is
set aside and replaced with the sentence of R50,00 (fifty
rand) and
it is ordered that the amount of R50,00 (fifty rand) be repaid to the
accused.
