J U D G M E N T (LEAVE TO APPEAL)

BAM, J: There is now an application for leave to appeal against the convictions and sentences in this case. The application is opposed by the State. With reference to the arguments advanced by both Ms Khoka and Mr Jack submitting that there are prospects that another court may interfere with the convictions and sentences.

I do not find it expedient to repeat my judgment pertaining to the conviction or my judgment pertaining to the sentences. There is nothing more I would like to add. In View , there are no reasonable prospects that another court may interfere with either the convictions or the sentences. Accordingly the applications are dismissed.

BAM, J

JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT
