Maxam and Another v Director of Public Prosecutions, South Gauteng: Director of Public Prosecutions v Maxam and Others (388/2021) [2026] ZASCA 94 (29 June 2026)

The Supreme Court of Appeal dealt with an appeal and cross-appeal arising from convictions connected to robberies and related offences involving branches of the South African Post Office. The court partially upheld both appellants' appeals, set aside some convictions and sentences, and substituted new sentences for the POCA counts. It also set aside the non-parole period imposed on the second appellant.

This may be relevant to criminal law and sentencing practitioners dealing with POCA, racketeering, robbery, and appeal court interference with sentence.
