JUDGEMENT ON REVIEW
(21/07/99)

	

The case against Mario Vincent and David Sibandze, Manzini Criminal Case No. 336/96 has been placed before me.  Presiding Magistrate has set out the sorry story of this prosecution …….. which I attach hereto.   

It appears to me that there is little that can be done otherwise  than to declare the proceedings in the Magistrate’s Courts a nullity in view of  the absence of the record and set proceedings such as they were aside.  The order I therefore make is that proceedings in Criminal Case No. 336/96 Manzini are set aside.
