Jason Rohde was sentenced to an 18-year jail term by the high court in Cape Town for murdering his wife Susan.
"He has been transferred to another prison. He still holding up and strong and hopes his case will be heard by the SCA."
In the leave to appeal application, Rohde's counsel Graham van der Spuy said Salie-Hlophe should not have convicted him. "The convictions of the accused were against the evidence and the weight of the evidence. The court erred and misdirected itself in failing to make a finding that the accused's evidence was probably true, alternatively, at the very least, that his version of events was reasonably possibly true [namely, that the deceased died by committing suicide by handing herself and that she was not murdered by him].
