Lungisa himself said that they were in Makhanda simply to present their papers. He said that the documents had to be filed simultaneously with both the Makhanda High Court and the Constitutional Court.
He said his lead attorney, Terry Price, would make an appointment with the superior court to argue extending his bond in due course.
Price confirmed this to DispatchLIVE.
“Today there will be no application. We will first submit our request for permission to appeal to the Contra Court, after which we will argue to have the bond extended. “
The courts have been unanimous in upholding Lungisa’s effective two-year prison term for crushing a glass water jug on the head of DA councilman Rano Kayser during a heated NMB council meeting in council chambers in October 2016. Kayser was seriously injured.
The Makhanda High Court dismissed Lungisa’s appeal against the conviction and sentence.
Last week, five judges on the Supreme Court of Appeals unanimously found that the two-year sentence fit the crime.
