High Court Judges during the opening of the legal year

The Court of Appeal this week advised attorneys for serial offender, Moeng Ndebele, to go back and crosscheck the dates their client was remanded on his various offences, before asking for a reduction of his sentence.

Ndebele had approached the CoA seeking a reduction of the 14-year sentence he received for stocktheft in 2006. Ndebele‘s lawyer Mogakolodi Segwagwa had asked the Court to backdate his client’s sentence and accommodate time already spent, only for judges to inform him to carefully study the records as Ndebele had previous convictions running alongside the sentence.

Thus, judges Ian Kirby, Elijah Legwaila and Alistair Abernethy said Ndebele would not be released even after serving the sentence for stocktheft.
