S v Katoo [2006] 4 All SA 348 (SCA)

Main Issue: Kidnapping and Rape/competence of complainant as a witness

Findings: Court reasoned that the court a quo has erred in refusing to allow the complainant as a witness because the evidence led to show the incompetency of the complainant as suffering from a mental illness and as a result that she was deprived of her reason was not satisfactory. Re-trial ordered.
