Drug-dealing former Mdantsane cop Reneal Francis has failed in his Supreme Court of Appeal bid to appeal against his tough 15-year sentence. The SCA this week dismissed his appeal against the Makhanda high court decision refusing him leave to appeal. Francis, 37, was found guilty on two counts of drug dealing after he sold 96 Mandrax tablets in November 2012 to undercover Hawks officers.
Judgment has been reserved in the controversial Tafelberg case, which stems from the Western Cape government's decision to sell prime property in Sea Point, instead of using it for housing.
The outcome of the matter could have far-reaching consequences and will be of importance in the debate over how public land is used and where social housing should be developed.
