Magistrate erred in sentence - Judge Makwade

The magistrate had sentenced Tshepiso Loeto to 10 years on the first count, 10 years on the second and 20 years on the third.  The sentences on counts one and two were to run concurrently.

On the third count the magistrate was under the impression that Loeto knew his positive HIV/AIDS status when he committed the offence.Though Loeto challenged conviction on all three charges, the judge found that the magistrate had only erred in the third count.
