JUDGMENT - APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL
WRIGHT J
[1] On 19 February 2024 I delivered a typed, signed judgment in the main application which was Part B of the application as a whole. This judgment is to be read with that judgment.
[2] The applicants before me sought to review and interdict the conduct of the present first to third respondents relating to the well-known Rea Vaya bus project. I dismissed the application. The applicants now seek leave to appeal.
[3] In my view, they have a reasonable prospect on appeal but this case does not need the attention of the SCA.
ORDER
[1] The applicants are granted leave to appeal the order of Wright J of 19 February 2024.
[2] Leave is to a full court of the Gauteng Division, Johannesburg.
[3] Costs in the appeal.
