Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant was convicted of rape by Rusape Regional Court and sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. After failing to timeously file an appeal, he applied for condonation and later for leave to appeal, claiming the Supreme Court indicated bright prospects of success. The court found no prospects of success and that the application was improperly before it.
