JUDGMENT

SKOSANA AJ

[1]	This is an application for leave to appeal against my judgment. To avoid confusion, I refer to the parties as in the original application. The application for leave to appeal has been brought by the first and second respondents as well as the fourth to eighth respondents.

[2]	I have considered the grounds for leave to appeal as well as the arguments presented by the respective counsel. I am not persuaded that the appeal would have reasonable prospects of success.

[3]	Consequently, I make the following order:

[1]	Leave to appeal is refused with costs.

DT SKOSANA
Acting Judge of the High Court
