“Where an inciter incites an incitee to do an act which to the knowledge of the inciter would not be a crime on the part of the incitee on the ground that he has no mens rea but would be a crime on the part of the inciter, the latter is not guilty of contravening sec. 15(2)(b) of Act 27 of 1914.”

“However, if I urged hon. Members to run⟳ outside and rob⟳ a bank, I would be guilty of a criminal offence—at least, I would if parliamentary privilege did not apply⟳—as I would be encouraging them to do something unlawful. That, simply, is the common law offence of incitement. / In that case, there is no doubt⟳ as to the jurisdiction of the courts. I, the inciter, and hon. Members, as—if I may use⟳ the word—incitees, are here present⟳.”

“As a result⟳, the closer the inciter’s relationship to the envisaged criminal act, the less stringent are the requirements with respect⟳ to the size of the group of incitees or the public nature of the incitement.”
