The Regional Courts deal with serious cases such as murder, rape, armed robbery and serious assault. These courts do not hear treason cases. The Criminal Law (Sentencing) Amendment Act (38 of 2007) obliges the court to sentence a person to life imprisonment for offences such as murder or rape.
These courts do not hear treason cases.
The Criminal Law (Sentencing) Amendment Act (38 of 2007) obliges the court to sentence a person to life imprisonment for offences such as murder or rape.
The convicted person must prove “substantial compelling” circumstances in order for the court to impose a sentence less than life imprisonment. A Regional Court may impose a maximum fine of R600 000 and a maximum sentence of 15 years in common law offences (no statute or act of Parliament determines the sentence for the offence).
A statute may prove for a maximum term of imprisonment in excess of 15 years for specific offences. An example is the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act (140 of 1992). The maximum sentence of imprisonment for dealing in drugs is 25 years.
