Explanatory note for section 18

Section 47AB of the Summary Offences Act was inserted by Act No. 65 of 1983 and included 2 paragraphs, specifically paragraphs (a) and (b). By amendment Act No. 7 of 1996, the section was amended "by omitting paragraph (b)" so the remainder of the section only included a single paragraph. This amendment normalises the wording of the section but does not change the policy of the section.
