method milambo vs aikos namundujee 2021 tzhclandd 6865 23 december 2021

The court held that, although financial constraints are generally not a sufficient ground for extension of time, in the circumstances of this case, the applicant's situation was analogous to exceptional cases where such constraints have been accepted. Additionally, the alleged illegality regarding jurisdiction was of sufficient importance and apparent on the face of the record, justifying extension of time.
