19
(1) The failure of the sentencing court to fix a non-parole period under section 18 does not invalidate the sentence but any court hearing an appeal against the sentence may fix a non-parole period in accordance with section 18.
(2) The High Court may, on the application of the offender, fix a non-parole period in accordance with section 18 in respect of a term of imprisonment being served by a person who is serving a life sentence and in respect of which no non-parole period has been fixed.
