 PROPOSED NATIONAL SCHEDULE OF DEPOSIT FINES [COVID-19 & TRAFFIC OFFENCES] – JAN 2021

1. The above proposals concern prevalent traffic offences, Covid-19 offences and other offences, which the ZRP can
accept fines.

2. The legality of acceptance of fines by the Police is governed by section 356 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence
Act [Chapter 9:07].

3. The National Deposit Fine schedule was designed by the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and is
reviewed by the same Ministry from time to time. It was put in place to enhance operationalization of Section 356 of
the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act.

4. In terms of section 356 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act a peace officer cannot accept a fine exceeding
Level Three. The relevant section reads as follows:

“When any person has been summoned or warned to appear in a magistrates court or has been arrested or has
been informed by a peace officer, by written notice referred to in subsection (1) of section one hundred and forty-one or
otherwise, that it is intended to institute criminal proceedings against him for any offence, and a prescribed officer has
reasonable grounds for believing that the court which will try the said person for such offence will, on convicting
such person of such offence, not impose a sentence of imprisonment or a fine exceeding level three, such
person may sign and deliver to such prescribed officer a document admitting that he is guilty of the said offence and—

(a) deposit with such prescribed officer such sum of money as the latter may fix; or
(b) furnish to such prescribed officer such security as the latter thinks sufficient for the payment of any fine which the
court trying the case in question may lawfully impose thereof; not exceeding level three or the maximum of the fine with
which such offence is punishable, whichever is the lesser, and such person shall thereupon not be required to appear in
court to answer a charge of having committed the said offence.”

 PROPOSED NATIONAL SCHEDULE OF DEPOSIT FINES [COVID-19 & TRAFFIC OFFENCES] – JAN 2021

5. The provisions in section 356 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act are very clear. A peace officer cannot accept
a deposit fine exceeding Level 3.
