This document is a ruling by the Nkangala District Municipality regarding a jurisdictional point in limine concerning an appeal lodged by GroundWork. The ruling addresses whether GroundWork, as an interested and affected party, has the legal standing (locus standi) to appeal the municipality's decision to transfer a license under Section 62 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act.

• The central dispute in the matter is not the jurisdiction of the Nkangala District Municipality, but rather whether the appellant, GroundWork, has the legal standing (locus standi) to appeal the decision to transfer a license as a third party.
• The Appeal Authority determined that Section 62 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act allows any person whose rights are affected by a municipal decision to appeal, not just the primary parties involved in the dispute.
• For an Interested or Affected Party to have standing to appeal a Local Authority's decision, they must have registered as such, made submissions during the public consultation process, and been notified of the final decision.
• The ruling rejects the argument that internal appeals are only for the applicant (ACWA) and that other parties must rely solely on judicial review, noting that Regulation 10 provides for appeals by affected interested parties.
