JUDGMENT
TWALA, J

[1]	This is a variation order envisaged in terms of Rule 42(1) (b) of the Uniform Rules of Court relating to the judgment I handed down electronically, by circulation to the parties' legal representatives on 18 March 2025.

[2]	The Rule provides that the court may, in addition to any other powers it may have, mero motu rescind or vary an order in which there is an ambiguity, or a patent error or omission, but only to the extent of such ambiguity, error or omission.

[3]      On 11 April 2025, the respondents brought to my attention that they have served their Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal. However, the Registrar required that the order I previously issued be amended or clarified to facilitate proper processing of the appeal.

[4]      In correcting the order of the 18 March 2025 in terms of Rule 42 of the Uniform Rules of Court, I amend the order to read as follows:  

           3.1.   The respondents are granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal.

           3.2. Costs to be costs in appeal.
