Holding

By consent of both parties, the constitutional application was dismissed. Counsel for the applicants informed the court that the parties had agreed the application should be withdrawn because the applicants had filed a cross-appeal in Constitutional Appeal No. 03 of 2020 and because the court had already issued a decision staying the Constitutional Court decision between the same parties. The court accordingly dismissed the application and ordered that costs be in the cause in Constitutional Appeal No. 03 of 2020.
