Admissibility of admissions and confessions South African law of evidence Dr Philani L Ndlovu

Admissions and confessions fall into a special class of evidence since they are statements or utterances adverse to the person making them.

Greetings Dr Ndlovu,
My son is currently serving a 15 year sentence for breaking and entering and aggravated assault. At the time they NPO offered a plea bargain the offer was a written confession to the above allegations with a 15 year sentence of with 2 years that will be suspended. If he did not agree the NPO informed him that, as one of the victims died after the alleged attack, murder will be added to his docket and he may then face a possible 25 year sentence.
He is guilty of the breaking and entering.
He is guilty of the assault.
He was not in the room when the victim that died was assaulted. There was a first accused in the trail.
But, everyone who heard about the sentencing is surprised by its length. Do we have a way to protest the NPO offer after the sentence is applied?
We were not in the country at the time of sentencing.

I have a case of corruption. I was arrested with entrapment 252A, where I was arrested b4 the authority granted. Then while in trial authority of entrapment was accepted provincially awaiting an advocate to come and confirm the authority of entrapment. Then the prosecutor closed the case without calling that advocate. Wat happens to that piece of evidence.
