Forbidden Cup
(N.Z.P.A .-Reuter—Copyright) PIETERMARITZBURG, August 25. The Supreme Court ruled here in Pietermaritzburg that Mrs Jacqueline Arenstein had not violated her banning order by having tea with, three friends outside a Durban coffee bar. Last May, 35-year-old Mrs Arenstein, who is under a five-year ban which forbids her from attending social and political gatherings, was sentenced to seven days’ imprisonment for the tea session. The sentence was suspended for a year.
On the morning of December 3 last year, Mrs Arenstein was walking along an arcade. A woman sitting at a table with two men called to her and she joined them. She ordered tea for herself and paid for it. Today, Mr Justice D. G. Fannin allowed Mrs Arenstein’s appeal on the ground that the meeting at the tea-table did not constitute a social gathering as it had been “casual and spontaneous.”
Mrs Arenstein was declared a banned person for five years on September 23 last year.
