Callie Snyman is a prolific author, whose work on the normative theory of culpability is viewed as one of his major contributions to the development of criminal law in South Africa. He was honoured by the FAK for the Afrikaans edition of Strafreg and received the Chancellor's Prize from Unisa as the best senior researcher. A number of academics had their academic careers shaped under the guidance of Snyman as members of his criminal law team. This volume of essays is a tribute. 'Professor Kallie Snyman is without doubt the most prominent scholar in Criminal Law who has ever been attached to Unisa. His contribution to the debate around contentious issues in criminal law and ultimately on the development of criminal law theory and criminal law practice in South Africa is immeasurable.' - Prof Rita Mare, Vice Principal: Academic and Research, Unisa
