14. Pension may cease on conviction (1) Where a person to whom a pension or other allowance has been granted is sentenced to a term of imprisonment by a competent Court for any offence, such pension or allowance shall, if the President so directs, cease as from such date as the President determines. (2) Where a person is sentenced under subsection (1) after retirement in circumstances in which he is eligible for pension or allowance but before the pension or allowance is granted, subsection (1) shall apply in respect of any pension or allowance which may be granted to him. (3) Where a pension or allowance ceases by reason of this section, the President may direct all or any part of the money to which such person would have been entitled by way of pension or allowance had he not been sentenced as mentioned in subsection (1) to be paid, or applied, in the same manner in all respects as prescribed in section 13 and such money shall be paid or applied accordingly. (4) Where such person after conviction receives a free pardon, the pension or allowance shall be restored with retrospective effect, but in determining whether arrears of such pension or allowance are payable to such person and in computing the amount thereof, account shall be taken of all money paid or applied under subsection (3). [S. 14 amended by s. 23 of Act 48 of 1991 w.e.f. 12 March 1992.]
