a) Lokval word in Suid-Afrika as ’n regverdigingsgrond erken.

Entrapment is recognised as a ground of justification in South Africa.

b) Aaanspreeklikheid vir ’n late kan ontstaan waar ’n person bloot versuim om beheer uit
te oefen oor ’n gevaarlike situasie.

Liability for an omission can ensue if a person merely fails to exercise control over a
dangerous situation.

word van ’n openbare welsynsmisdaad.

, d) In R v Blaue [1975] 3 All ER 446 en in RAF v Russell 2001 (2) SA 34 (SCA) was die
slagoffer die onmiddellike oorsaak van hul eie dood.

In R v Blaue [1975] 3 All ER 446 and in RAF v Russell 2001 (2) SA 34 (SCA) the
victim was the immediate cause of their own death.

e) Skending van artikel 11 van die Handves van Menseregte (die reg op lewe) is nooit
regverdigbaar in terme van artikel 36 van die Grondwet nie.

Infringement of section 11 of the Bill of Rights (the right to life) is never justifiable in
terms of section 36 of the Constitution.

f) Die toepassing van die legaliteitsbeginsel is ’n voorvereiste vir óf die algemene
afskrikking- óf die buitestaatstelling strafteorie.

Application of principle of legality is a precondition for either the general deterrence or
the incapacitation theory of punishment.

g) Oorkriminalisering mag die pleeg van misdaad aanmoedig.

Over-criminalisation may encourage the commission of crime.

h) Strafregtelike aanspreeklikheid mag nooit ontstaan as gevolg van die blote uitering van
woorde nie.

Criminal liability may never ensue from the mere uttering of words.

i) Die enigste strafteorie wat die onderliggende regverdiging vir straf verduidelik is die
verdiende loon teorie.

The only punishment theory that explains the underlying justification for punishment is
the just desert theory.

j) In DPP, North Gauteng v Thabethe 2011 (2) SACR 567 (SCA) het die hof die
behoefte aan bestraffende, eerder as herstellende, geregtigheid beklemtoon.

In DPP, North Gauteng v Thabethe 2011 (2) SACR 567 (SCA) the court emphasised
the need for punitive, rather than restorative, justice.

TOTAAL VRAAG 1 / TOTAL QUESTION 1 [10]


Vraag 2 / Question 2 [ENGLISH ON PAGE 5 ONWARDS!]
Op 25 Mei verklaar Robert Mugabe oorlog op Suid Afrika “vir die koestering en
beskerming van die gruwel van homoseksualiteit”. Zimbabwiese soldate kruis die grens
en val Limpopo Provinsie binne. Suid Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW) troepe
word ontplooi om die inval af te weer.
Om 09h00 op 26 Mei beveel Kolonel X vir Luitenant Y om landmyne te plant op die 16km
stuk van die N1 tussen Musina en die Beit Brug (die grens tussen Suid Afrika en
