1. Differences between Criminal and Civil Cases in the Republic of South Africa (2
Marks)
Criminal cases involve the prosecution of an individual or entity by the state for an act that
is considered a crime against society, such as theft, assault, or murder. The primary
objective is to determine guilt and, if found guilty, to impose a penalty such as imprisonment
or fines.
Civil cases, on the other hand, involve disputes between private individuals or entities.
These cases typically deal with issues such as contracts, property disputes, or family law
matters. The primary objective in civil cases is to resolve the dispute and, where applicable,
award compensation or other remedies to the aggrieved party.
