REASONS
FOR JUDGEMENT
SWANEPOEL
J:
[1]
On 24 August 2023 I heard an application for leave to appeal against
a judgment of
my sister Mngqibisa-Thusi J which she handed down on 20
February 2023.
[2]
The notice of application for leave to appeal confined the grounds
for appeal to essentially
one proposition: That the respondent's
decision to attach R 40 million belonging to applicant was arbitrary
and irrational and
that he was acting on °dictation" (sic)
of another person.
[3]
I do not intend to repeat the facts, as they are comprehensively
dealt with in the
judgment of Mngqibisa-Thusi J.Her analysis of the
matter is also fully set out, and I respectfully agree with her
findings. Suffice
it to say, that I find no facts in the papers to
support applicant's case.
[4]
I may only grant leave to appeal if I believe that an appeal would
have a reasonable
prospect of success, or if there is another
compelling reason why the appeal should be heard. I cannot find so in
this case.
{5)
For the aforesaid reasons I dismissed the application with costs.
