On why the Intimidation Act could not be interpreted to be constitutional and had to be struck down

A statutory offence should be sufficiently clear so that the person who is charged, especially an unrepresented accused, may understand the details of the charge … An accused’s right to be informed of the charge with sufficient detail is important. Moyo and Another v Minister of Police and Others; Sonti and Another v Minister of Police and Others, Constitutional Court, October 22 2019
