TRANSPORT EDUCATION TRAINING AUTHORITY (TETA)	Respondent

 

JUDGMENT

 

WRIGHT J

 

1.  The applicant relies on funding from the respondent Transport Education Training Authority for skills development.

 

2.  The applicant seeks urgently an order for payment of money from the respondent.

 

3.  The applicants says, somewhat vaguely, that its interns, those persons who benefit from the relevant skills development program will be prejudiced if the money is not paid over urgently.

 

4.  The lengthy and detailed answering affidavit raises huge disputes of fact. Allegations of irregular financial conduct are made against the applicant. It is also shown that the applicant was aware from April 2024 of the present looming dispute.

 

5.  In these circumstances, urgency is not shown.

 

6.  When the matter was called, Mr SF Selamulela appeared for the applicant, saying that he had just been asked to attend court. The problem, he said, was that counsel for the applicant would arrive from Venda by Thursday.

 

7.  This explanation is unacceptable.

 

8.  After the matter had stood down for about two hours, Mr Selamulela asked for the matter to be removed.

 

9.  Ms P Sokhela opposed, quite reasonably suggesting inconvenience and prejudice.

 

10.  Be that as it may, the matter is not urgent and would need to be removed anyway.

 

ORDER

 

1.  Removed

 

2.  The first and second applicants are jointly and severally to pay the costs of the respondent on the attorney and client scale. -
