[2] The application for leave to appeal was filed outside the prescribed time
period and as a result, the Applicant filed a condonation application.
[3] Having considered the application for condonation as well as opposing
submissions, I conclude that the Applicant failed to provide a reasonable
explanation for the entire delay and the application has no reasonable
prospects of success.
[4] In the premises, the following order is made:
Order
1. The application for condonation is refused.
2. There is no order made as to costs.
