Kotze pleaded guilty to housebreaking with the intent to steal and theft. He gave Marcus William Oliver (19) of plot 2, Welverdiend, R150 so that he would not tell anyone about the crime.

Kotze was sentenced to seven cuts with a light cane. He had previous convictions for theft. Oliver, who was a first offender, was given four cuts on the theft charge.
