JUDGMENT:
EBRAHIM

DELIVERED ON:

APRIL 2005
[1] This matter comes
before me on special review by reason of the fact that prior to
judgment being given the cassette recordings
of all of the evidence
taken during the trial disappeared without trace. We are advised
that it is impossible for the record of
the evidence to be
reconstructed.
[2] In
light of the decisions in
S v JOUBERT
[1990] ZASCA 113
;
1991 (1) SA 119
(A) at 126 E – F
S v APPEL
2004 (2) SACR 360
(ECD)
The proceedings must
therefore be set aside.
[3] The following order
is made:
1. The
proceedings are set aside.
