SENTENCE

You have been convic t ed of failing t o comply wi t h

the provioi o~o of an order served upon you under t he

prevention of Communism Act in contravention of Se ction

lOt 1) (a) Act 44 of 1950. The Court has heard the evidenc e

and i t 1s proved fro~ the evidenc e you did not discuss any

matter which could in any way be called content ious with

Mr . Tarshish on the occasions t ha t you saw him. But you

were well aware of the fact that you had no right to

communicate with him at all or with anybody else who is

listed and wha t is more the orde r se r ved upon you made

special provision - there is a note endo r sed on it -

"the Magistrate of Cape Town , has in terms of Section

10(1 )(a) of Act 44 of 1150 been e~powered to authorise

exc eptiors to the prohibi t ions contained in t his not ice . "

Now if ~pplic ation had been made to the Magistrate by you

for pennission to see Mr . Ta.rshish and that pennis.<::ion ha d

been refused and you ' d thereupon gone to see him without

permission , the Court would have oonsidered t hat as being

a very strong mitigati~ factor in the circumstances .

But here we are dealing with a case of a lthough knowing

that you had no right to see him , you nevertheless went

t o see him without in any way attempting to obtain

permission to do so . In other words , you did not take

any notice at all of the notice of prohibition served

upon you and that means tha t the offence a s cocrmitted by might

you on these t wo occasions 1s no t as small as onelotherHise

expect it to be . The Court feels t hat where ther8 is a

del i berate dioregard for a no ti ce se rved upon you in a

)0 case like thi s , t hen the Court cannot treat the person

who does thut us leniently as the Court would in the

or dina ry circ~stances had at least an attempt been made

14 . SENTENCE

to try and comply with the provi sions of the order . In

any event the nature of the conversation was such that

the Court is satisfied that no harm has been done . The

Court will t ake into consid0ration the fact the p revious

convictions which you have admitted do not really bear

any relation to the present offence at all . In the

Circumstances the Court sentences you on each of these

c ounts to 12 months im~risoTh~ent . 11 months whereof will

be suspended for the period of 3 years on condition

that you are not again convicted of any offence under t he

Suppression of Communism Act committed within the period

of suspension, both sar.tences to run concurrently .

I, the undersigned , hereby certify that the afore­

going is a true and correct transcript of the original

evidence recorded by ~echanical means in the case of

AnV . FAGAN ADDRESSES COURT.

AllV. FAGAN H,\Fns III COrY OF A Li.:TrER - EXHIBIT D.

ADV . FAGAI; COtiTINUES ADDRBSSING COURT .

SENTENC E

The Court was brought under the mi s t aken impression

th:... t there was a minimum penalty appli cable in respect

of these two charges ; that was the reason why the Court

had to impose a sentence of twelve months i mprisonment on

10 each of the two cha r ges and why most of the impr isonment

was suspended , However, it is n O"1/ se ttled tha t there is

no minimum penalty appli cable to an offence under this

Section and the Court feels therefore that bo th the se

charges should be tre !l. ted as one for the purpose of

sentence - -:'hst W(l.S in f:3.ct the pur pose why th() sentence s

on t t.e previous oc casion were ordered to run conourrently .

The Court will therefors trsa t the t·NO count s as one for

purpo se of sente nce and just impose one sentence in respect

of both these charges .

20 It has been stated by Mx . Fagan, and he has produced

to the Court a copy of a letter addressed to the Accused ,

tha t she is now all owed by the Minis ter to see M!". l'arsh1sh

so that in other words the contravention is not viewed by

the aut horities in a se riOUS light _ the Cour t accepts

that as correct and for the reasons ment ioned by ~~ . Fagan

the Court feels that i t should not impose a suspended

sentence in the circumstances of the c a~e as now shown .

But the Court nevertheless feels , as was pointed out

previously , that where an order is served upcn a person

3:) and that order prohibit s a person f r om doing something

Page 21: IN THE SlJP:iEKE COURr OF SOUTH AFRICA€¦ · For the Di vision of Cape Peninsula, held at Cape Town 10 Before W, F. van der Marl'.e, Esquire, Magistrate for the said Division, on

18 . SENTENCE

and then the terms of that order are contra vened

without any attempt w)-.atsoever to try and obtain

relaxation of the cond1 tions imposed , that that is a

serious matter . On the eVidence of the Accused given

in mi tigation, it is cleal'ly shown that the application

or the intervie w I'll th the Acting Chief' Magis t rate in

regard to the application for marriage between the

Accused and Mr. Tarshish, t hat intervi ew took place

between the 1st and the 6th of May , 1963 , in other words

10 between t he two dates on which the offences were cOnu:littcd.

It is also clear , here again on her own evidence , that

she went to the prison to take r~r . Tarshish some food and

then she asked the wsriers for permissi on to see hir:l .

The Accused kmm that she could obtain a var iat ion of

the orde r served upon her if she applied fo r it , but she

never did so and the Court feels that u deliberate dis ­

rega~d f or un order of this nature is so~e thing that no

court of law can countenance . Therefor e the Court feels

that to impose a sentence which will have the effect of

20 letting thc Accused gc cff s cot- free , will not be correct

in the circ~~tances . Taking al l the circumstances into

considera ticn, the Court feels that a short sentence of

imp risop~ent is the correct sentence tc be i mposed and

the Accused is sentenc6d to cne months ' imprisonment .

The accu~cd appeared before me on the 22nd July ,

and sentenced .

She t hen appealed against the sentence imposed , and

on the 1 8 th NovcJ:lber , 1 96 3 . the appeal \'las upheld the

sentence set aside , and the case remitted to this Court

for passing sent ence afresh .

The accused again appeared before me, in pursuance

to thi9 order , On the )rd Dec o'1lbe r, )9fi ) , a nd aftar h er

20 counsel had addressed the Court in mitigation , she wa s

sentenced to one (1) months ' s imprisonment on both

She now appeals against this s ent ence , it being

I do not wish to sdd anything thereto except

that the Court could not agree with oounsel ' s submiosion

10 that the oontravention did not meri t a Plo1'e severe

punishment than that the accused be detained until

the rising of the Court . There was a deliberate d1s-

regard for the provisions of the order served upon her ,

ood t he Court felt tha t the ~entenoe to be i~po~ed had

to act as a de terrent to the accused and tc others .

For that and previously menticned reasons the Court

felt that , whilst allo'Ning fo r all the factors urged in

mi tiga ticn , the sentence had to be such as to impress

upon the acoused the gr",vity of her ccntravention , a nd

20 she was sentenced to one (1) r.lOnth ' s imprisonment on

both counts jointly.
