Regulation 9
Breach of weekend detention order

fails to comply with any of his obligations as specified in regulation 7.
Subregulation 2
Where an offender contravenes the weekend detention order in force against him, the supervising officer of the offender shall —
call upon the offender to give an explanation (whether verbally or in writing, as the supervising officer thinks fit) for the contravention within such time as the supervising officer may specify (which, in any case, shall not be more than 48 hours after the contravention was committed or detected); and
make a record of the date and time and nature of the contravention and any explanation given by the offender for the contravention.
Subregulation 3
If the contravention of the weekend detention order does not consist of the commission of an offence and is not, in the opinion of the supervising officer, of so serious a nature as to warrant a variation or revocation of the order or to render the weekend detention order ineffectual in the rehabilitation of the offender, the supervising officer may, if the offender’s explanation for the contravention is acceptable to him, deal with the offender in accordance with the regulations of the place of detention.
Subregulation 4
If —
the contravention of the weekend detention order consists of the commission of an offence or is, in the opinion of the supervising officer or the probation officer of the offender, of so serious a nature as to warrant a variation or revocation of the order or to render the weekend detention order ineffectual in the rehabilitation of the offender; or
the offender is unable to give a reasonable explanation for his contravention of the order, the supervising officer or the probation officer of the offender shall lay the necessary information of the contravention before a judge of the Youth Court in order that the offender may be dealt with by the Court under section 44(5) of the Act.
