| Hearing Date | 28 April 1980 |

| Court | Transvaal Provincial Division |
Le Grange R:
Die appellant het in 'n streekhof op 'n aanklag van openbare D geweld tereggestaan en is aan aanranding met die opset om ernstig te beseer skuldig bevind. Hy is gevonnis tot drie jaar gevangenisstraf waarvan 18 maande gevangenisstraf opgeskort is vir vyf jaar op voorwaarde dat hy nie skuldig bevind word aan 'n misdryf waarvan aanranding 'n element is, gepleeg gedurende die tydperk van opskorting en waarvoor gevangenisstraf sonder die keuse van 'n boete opgelê word nie.
E Die besonderhede wat in die klagstaat verstrek is, is die volgende:
"... Dat voormelde beskuldigde skuldig is aan die misdryf van openbare geweld;
Deurdat op of omtrent 19 Augustus 1978 en te of naby Balfour Park, Johannesburg, in die streekafdeling Transvaal, die gemelde beskuldigdes F wederregtelik vergader het hetsy net hulle of saam met ander persone aan die Staat onbekend, met die opset om die openbare rus en vrede te versteur of om inbreuk te maak op die regte van lede van die gemeenskap daar synde te wete:
Deur tydens 'n sokkerwedstryd, die draadomheining van gemelde G sokkerveld los te ruk en as 'n groep op genoemde sokkerveld te storm en/of
Deur met bakstene en/of soortgelyke voorwerpe na die sokkerspelers en/of polisielede aldaar teenwoordig te gooi met die opset om gemelde spelers en/of polisielede aan te rand en/of
Deur die skeidsregter, te wete Ephraim Motsoene, te jaag en aangerand H
Le Grange R
het, deur gemelde Ephraim Motsoene met 'n skroewedraaier en/of soortgelyke skerp voorwerp in die rug te steek en met die opset om gemelde Ephraim Motsoene ernstig leed aan te doen en as gevolg waarvan hy wel ernstige beserings opgedoen het.
Deur algemene gedrag en optrede die openbare rus en vrede aldaar versteur het." A
Die appellant kom nou in hoër beroep teen beide die skuldigbevinding en die vonnis.
Op appèl was dit gemeensaak dat 'n aantal toeskouers by geleentheid van 'n B voetbalwedstryd op die speelveld op gehardloop het nadat hulle deur 'n draadheining gebreek het, dat sommige van hulle die skeidsregter gejaag het en dat iemand die skeidsregter van agter met 'n skerp voorwerp op die linkerblad gesteek het. Dit was ook gemeensaak dat die besering van ernstige aard was. Die streeklanddros het bevind dat die Staat bewys het dat dit die appellant was wat die skeidsregter gesteek het en die appèl C teen die skuldigbevinding was teen daardie bevinding gerig. Tydens die betoog egter het my Ampsbroer die vraag...
