S v Jagne [2011] ZAWCHC 342;A620/10 - 253 KB
 

This is an appeal against sentence. The appellant, a clinical psychologist, was charged in Bellville Magistrate's Court with five counts of fraud. The State alleged that she misrepresented to the complainant, a director of Capcon Finance (Pty) Ltd ("Capcon"), an entity which provides bridging finance to persons and companies, that she would be receiving funds from the United Kingdom (UK) pursuant to a sale of property which she owned there, and defrauded Capcon out of R720 000. The appellant pleaded not guilty to all the charges. She was convicted on all five counts of fraud, which were taken together for the purpose of sentence. She was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment of which three years were suspended for five years on condition that she is not again convicted of fraud or theft committed during the period of suspension.
