News:Supreme Court To Hear Sir Wicknell's Conviction Challenge
The Supreme Court will now hear the conviction challenge by businessman Wicknell Chivayo after it emerged that the notes taken down by a judge during his money laundering trial have been found.
The four notebooks used by the judge in the trial will now be used to reconstruct the missing record to enable the Supreme Court to hear Chivayo’s appeal.
Chivayo has since served the prison term for the offence and he is now seeking to clear his name through an appeal.
He was in 2005 jailed five years for money laundering, which involved R837 000 by the High Court. Two years were conditionally set aside, leaving him to serve an effective three years in prison.
He appealed to the Supreme Court against both conviction and sentence, but his appeal could not be heard since 2005 after it emerged that some papers were missing from his court record.
