Two men were charged, in the Magistrate’s Court at Okahandja for contravening section 30 (1)(a), read with section 1, 30(1)(b) + (c), 85, 89 and 89A of the Nature Conservation Ordinance 4 of 1975 as amended, and further read with sections 90 and 250 of Act 51 of 1977; that is hunting a warthog at Farm Ouparakane without a permit and theft of the same warthog. They were sentenced accordingly on each count in terms of section 112(1)(b) of Act 51 of 1977. The matter was submitted to the Windhoek High Court Main Division (High Court) for review. The High Court held that it is a duplication of charges to convict and punish an accused twice on one and the same offence he had committed at the same time and place. Both the conviction and sentence on the second count were set aside.
