Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation for late noting of an appeal against a judgment that found disputed communal land belonged to the respondent. The applicant's grandfather had allocated land portions to his four sons, including the respondent and the applicant's father. The applicant claimed a portion allocated to the respondent, while the respondent, supported by elderly siblings, maintained the land was rightfully his.
