Kubheka v S (A176/2018) [2019] ZAGPJHC 542 (13 September 2019)
Court
South Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg
Case number
A176/2018
Judge
Mudau
The court found that the offence for which the applicant was convicted is serious and prevalent, and that the personal circumstances of the applicant are outweighed by the interests of the community. The court did not find fault with the conviction and concluded that special leave to appeal may not be granted and a significant custodial sentence is probable. Therefore, it is not in the interests of justice to release the applicant on bail pending the application for special leave to appeal the conviction and sentence.
