Hlungwane v S (BA 21/2019; RC121/2014) [2020] ZALMPPHC 34 (4 June 2020)
The High Court upheld an appeal against conviction for possession of rhino legs, finding the evidence did not prove joint possession or the required intent.
Khoza v S (A124/14) [2014] ZAGPPHC 334 (10 June 2014)
The court found that the magistrate correctly considered all relevant evidence, including the appellant's lack of residence and family ties in South Africa, his ability to cross borders undetected, and the absence of an extradition treaty with Mozambique. The seriousness of the offences and the risk of absconding outweighed the appellant's undertakings and his brother's assurances. The respondent discharged its onus to show that release on bail was not in the interests of justice. There was no misdirection by the court a quo, and the appeal was dismissed.
