4. The Minister concurred with the recommendation to withhold remuneration, in terms of section 13(4A)(a) of the Magistrates Act, as there was no reason why a magistrate who is on provisional suspension, and who has been convicted of a serious offence by a Court of Law, should continue to receive remuneration during the period he is provisionally suspended from office pending the outcome of the misconduct enquiry against him. Conclusion The Select Committee on Security and Constitutional Development, having considered the report on the withholding of remuneration of magistrate Mr. L B Maruwa, an additional Magistrate at Daveyton District Court, Gauteng, reports that it concurs with the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development and recommends that remuneration be withheld from Mr L B Maruwa.
