Hello nlanders,I av a friend who urgently needs ur candid n honest opinion. In January dis year he was arrested in South Africa for dealing in drugs. The sum of R7m rands(apprmt N140m) was found in his SA acct. He was given two options »1. Serve 28yrs (like 14yrs) in jail n after d jail term take his entire money n leave d country immediately or 2. Leave d money for SA Govt n leave d country without having to serve a jail term. He is married n av kids in SA n he is condering many factors. He is yet to make a decision for like 6mths now nn he really needs meaningful n matured advices.

Both, I mean He should serve the 28 years in jail and also forfeit the N140m, and be deported after that as criminals like him deserve to be given maximum punishment: He is not worthy to be a married man with kids

no wonder there are so many Nigerians doing crime in SA when there are such NONSENSE laws over there..... as they say:" if you can't do the time, then don't do the crime!"

the money is the proceed of an illegal enterprise, and therefore should be confiscated and awarded to victims of the drug trade etc. as for your friend, let him rot in jail for a few yrs (spending as much as the full sentence as possible)

I'm sure even if he served d jail term he might not be given the money.
I don't even believe such law exists.
