However, I am not satisfied with the framing of the sentence. The sentence and its conditions must be very clear and specific to enable the accused to know what is expected of him. [3] The sentence and condition of suspension should read that _each_ accused is sentenced and that the accused is not convicted of theft _committed_ during the period of suspension. [4] In the result, the following order is made: (1) The conviction is confirmed. (2) The sentence is altered to read: Each accused is sentenced to one thousand two hundred (N$1200.00) fine or in default twelve (12) month’s imprisonment suspended for a period of five (5) years on condition that accused is not convicted of theft committed during the period of suspension. __________________ SHIVUTE, J I agree ___________________ PARKER, J #### __Related documents ▲ To the top >
