AI summary
The High Court in Johannesburg considered three special review matters involving guilty pleas for contravening section 49(1)(a) of the Immigration Act. It set aside the District Magistrate’s sentences of caution and discharge in two matters, and a wholly suspended fine-or-imprisonment sentence in the third, and remitted the matters for proper sentencing.
This appears to concern sentencing in matters involving section 49 of the Immigration Act and the court’s description of section 34 and deportation.
