JUDGMENT ON
APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL
MAKHUBELE AJ
[1]
Judgment in this matter was delivered on 12 December 2014 and the
application for leave to appeal was filed on 20 January 2015.
The
applicant also sought condonation for late filing of the application
for leave to appeal

to
the extent necessary".
This
was not opposed and was duly granted.
[2] I have carefully
considered the grounds of appeal, the arguments advanced and studied
my judgment.
[3] I am required to
consider, objectively, whether there are reasonable prospects of
another court coming to a different conclusion
than that I arrived at
in my judgment. I am not required to justify my judgment or offer
interpretation thereof. This is also not
an opportunity for me to
re-write or supplement my judgment.
[4] Having
considered all the above, I am not convinced that there are
reasonable prospects of another court (faced with the same
facts and
questions of law before me) coming to a different conclusion than
that I arrived at in my judgment.
[5] Accordingly, I
make the following order:
[5.1] The
application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs.
