2 I have read the judgment of Nicholas AJA, and wish to add the following to his summary of facts: The group approached by appellant were street children. He asked them "maar wat soek julle dan hierso, moet julle dan nie by die huis gewees het nie, toe se die spannetjie vir my, die klonges, nee hulle loop maar hier in die rondte, want hulle gaan nie huis toe nie, want hulle kry pak by die huis, want hulle ma en hulle pa bly dronk". The oldest of the group was M.. Erica's older sister, Ma. aged about 9, was the only other girl. When M. told appellant he could provide no woman for him, appellant said that Ma. would do. The boys objected that she was too young. Appellant then offered to take them home by bakkie. Instead, he drove to the lonely spot where he parked, and first called Ma. to him. She however jumped out of the cab. Appellant then called E.. She went, because "M. het vir haar gesê van die geld ... Toe het sy seker bly geraak oor die geld, toe het sy gegaan".
