Brothers
jailed for killing stepfather - 14 August
Two brothers from Howick in KwaZulu-Natal who killed their
stepfather because he repeatedly assaulted their mother were
jailed for 15 years by the Pietermaritzburg High Court on
Friday. Inkanyezi Shelembe, 24, and Philani Shelembe, 19,
admitted to murdering their stepfather Sansom Mbanjwa while
he was asleep in June this year. They stole his firearm and
Inkanyezi shot him three times. Mbanjwa once assaulted their
mother so badly that she was placed in hospital, the court
heard. Acting Judge Kobus Booyens found that their guilty
plea indicated remorse. - IOL

Woman
in adultery case must pay damages - 21 August
A strong message was sent out to all those thinking of
engaging in adulterous relationships when a woman won R75
000 in damages from her ex-husband's lover. In October 2006,
Kamintha Gounder of Pietermaritzburg sued Kamini Greadie for
having an affair with her husband, Anand. She was awarded
R75 000 at that time, the highest award in South Africa
obtained against someone who broke up a marriage. The order
was later rescinded. - IOL

Court
gives Mbangwa a chance - 24 August
Leon Mbangwa, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health
official whose nationality is being questioned, is safe from
deportation - at least for now. On Friday he sought an
urgent interdict against the Department of Home Affairs
which had threatened him with deportation or imprisonment if
he did not return to his country of origin, Zimbabwe, by
August 31. The Pietermaritzburg High Court allowed the
matter to be reviewed and granted him rights to remain in
the country while the review was being finalised. - IOL

Sentence
for tax fraud 'too lenient' - 27 August
The state has appealed to the high court in Pietermaritzburg
to increase a non-custodial sentence imposed on a
Durban-based former medical doctor, Imran Hassim who pleaded
guilty in August last year to 13 counts of VAT and income
tax fraud totalling R3,9 million. Durban regional magistrate
Fariedha Mohammed imposed a 10-year suspended jail sentence
on Hassim on condition that he does not commit similar
offences, repaid the SA Revenue Service (SARS) a total of
R1,5 million in instalments by the end of May this year, and
performs 1 000 hours of community service at a hospital
dealing with HIV in Durban. State advocate Meera Naidu
submitted to judges Pete Koen and Anton van Zyl that the
sentence failed to take into account a number of aggravating
factors. - The Witness
