Mgcira v S (A282/2017)

Mgcira v S (A282/2017) [2018] ZAFSHC 60 (10 May 2018)

Court

Free State High Court, Bloemfontein

Case number

A282/2017

Judges

Mathebula, Van Rhyn

The court found that the appellant's version, that he purchased the operating license from another individual and had used it without prior issue, was reasonably possibly true. The magistrate erred by relying on incorrect legal submissions and failing to verify the relevant statutory provisions. The evidence did not establish that the appellant knowingly possessed a falsified document or committed fraud. The conviction and sentence were therefore not justified and had to be set aside.
