JUDGMENT
WRIGHT J
1.
The
applicant relies on funding from the respondent Transport Education
Training Authority for skills development.
2.
The
applicant seeks urgently an order for payment of money from the
respondent.
3.
The
applicants says, somewhat vaguely, that its interns, those persons
who benefit from the relevant skills development program
will be
prejudiced if the money is not paid over urgently.
4.
The
lengthy and detailed answering affidavit raises huge disputes of
fact. Allegations of irregular financial conduct are made against
the
applicant. It is also shown that the applicant was aware from April
2024 of the present looming dispute.
5.
In
these circumstances, urgency is not shown.
6.
When
the matter was called, Mr SF Selamulela appeared for the applicant,
saying that he had just been asked to attend court. The
problem, he
said, was that counsel for the applicant would arrive from Venda by
Thursday.
7.
This
explanation is unacceptable.
8.
After
the matter had stood down for about two hours, Mr Selamulela asked
for the matter to be removed.
9.
Ms
P Sokhela opposed, quite reasonably suggesting inconvenience and
prejudice.
10.
Be
that as it may, the matter is not urgent and would need to be removed
anyway.
ORDER
1.
Removed
2.
The
first and second applicants are jointly and severally to pay the
costs of the respondent on the attorney and client scale. -
