- 01 February 2023
- Justice & Constitutional Development
- SA Legal Academy
In anticipation of public hearings, the National Assembly’s Justice & Correctional Services Committee has called for written submissions by 3 March 2023 on the recently tabled Transkeian Penal Code Bill. This is according to a notice published on the Parliamentary Monitoring Group website but not yet featured on Parliament’s.
Among other things, the Bill’s memorandum of objects states that the code’s continued application ‘has created an untenable situation’, resulting in ‘legal uncertainty as to whether … (it) supersede(s) the common law’ in the context of ‘specific crimes ... not statutorily defined’, the requirements of which ‘are still found in the common law’. Examples include murder, assault and theft.
