It should not be illegal for children to use cannabis: Centre for Child Law

"We are not saying that the smoking of marijuana by minors should be decriminalised...that's not what we are saying. This case is an automatic review of criminal proceedings that were brought against children in the Child Justice Court", said Centre for Child Law attorney, Lithalethemba Stwayi.

The court ordered Zuma to repay more than R16-million with which taxpayers have funded his attempts to avoid facing trial on corruption charges. When you have R16-million at your disposal, your lawyers can provide you with the kind of muscular legal assistance that ordinary criminal accused persons can only dream of.
