Presidential Pardons
A Presidential Pardon is a legal forgiveness of a crime granted by the President of a country. In South Africa, the President has the power to grant pardons to individuals convicted of a crime and who have served their sentence. The purpose of a Presidential Pardon is to give those with criminal records a second chance at life.
The process of obtaining a Presidential Pardon can be lengthy and complicated. It involves applying to the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, where the Advisory Committee on the Presidential Pardons will review it. The committee will make a recommendation to the President, who will then decide whether to grant the pardon. To be eligible for a Presidential Pardon, you must have served your sentence and have shown evidence of rehabilitation. You must also have a clear criminal record for at least five years after completing your sentence.
