dc.description.abstractIn South Africa, the general rule is that when an offence is committed, the suspect has to be prosecuted by a public prosecutor. This is on the basis of the Constitution (section 179) and the National Prosecuting Authority Act (section 20). However, there is an exception to this general rule - where a victim of crime or his or her representative, where the victim has no legal capacity, is permitted to institute a private prosecution if the prosecutor has declined to prosecute.en_US
