Is Seabelo's Gabs-Jo'burg permit legal?

In his decision, Justice Maruping Dibotelo stated: "The second respondent (the director of transport) is ordered and directed not to re-issue any P-permit or short term permit with regard to the said route to Seabelo Express or its nominee or agent before the whole applications and advertising procedures prescribed by the roads transport act are fully complied with.".

Delivering the judgement, Dibotelo said that the then director of transport, Moses Sebolao acted in contravention of the law and that his decision to grant Seabelo Express the permit was invalid and should be set aside.
