I have considered the application dated 23 January 2023 filed under a certificate of urgency of even date. The application is hereby certified urgent.  Leave is granted in terms of prayer (b) of the summons. The substantive motion shall be filed and served within seven days of the date of this ruling. The respondents shall file and serve their response within seven (7) days of the date of service of the applicant's motion. The motion shall be mentioned on 8 February 2023 for directions on the manner of its disposal.

It is so ordered.
