BULEMBO JUDGMENT for Tanzlii pdf
The appellant failed to apply for renewal of the primary mining licence within the statutory period; the application made after expiry was invalid. The Mining Authority was not required to serve notice of default for an out-of-time application. The respondent's licence was properly granted as the land was open for new applications. The Commission properly evaluated the evidence and reached a correct decision.
