In the appeal:

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS, GAUTENG APPELLANT

and

OSCAR LEONARD CARL PISTORIUS RESPONDENT

Having heard counsel on 03 NOVEMBER 2017 on an appeal from the judgment of

the (North Gauteng Division of the High Court of South Africa, Pretoria, delivered

on 2 NOVEMBER 2016 and having read the record of the proceedings in the said

Court. (Case number CC113/2013) and order was made on 24 November 2017.

It is quite clear from the judgment delivered in para 25 that the court intended to

antedate the sentence to 6 July 2016. Unfortunately the court omitted to include

the antedating of the sentence in the order itself.

The State has consented to the amendment of the order antedate

to the sentence
 3

to the said date. No prejudice will be suffered by the Respondent as a result of the

amendment of the order.

The order of the court is therefore amended to reflect the intention of the court to

antedate the sentence by inserting para 4 which will read as follows:

1. The application for leave to appeal is granted.

2. The appeal against sentence is upheld.

3. The sentence imposed by the court a quo in respect of murder is set aside and

substituted with the following:

'The respondent is sentenced to imprisonment for a period of 13 years and five

months.'

4. The sentence is antedated to 6 July 2016.
