JUDGMENT was reserved on Thursday in the appeal of rastafarian Gareth Anver Prince, who has been refused permission to enter the legal profession due to his use of cannabis. “This is a man who uses the ‘holy weed’ as part and parcel of his religious practices,” Senior counsel Peter Hodes told the Appeal Court in Bloemfontein. Hodes said that the Law Society of the Cape of Good Hope had ignored his client’s character and integrity when it refused him permission to register as a candidate attorney in 1997.
