The Constitutional Court dismissed an application for leave to appeal by Toni Peter Mphephu Ramabulana against a judgment which set aside the decision to appoint him as king of the Vhavenda Traditional Council.
The high court dismissed the application by the princess to apply for leave to appeal. She then approached the SCA, which granted her leave to appeal.
The SCA remitted the matter back to the high court for further adjudication on the merits before a different judge. “No reasonable explanation has been put forward, and this is a strong indicator that the application for condonation must fail,” Khampepe said. However, Khampepe ruled in favour of Mphephu in her cross-appeal concerning the SCA order which stayed Mphephu Ramabulana’s kingship pending the finalisation of the dispute.
