Real estate agent Penny Sparrow has unsuccessfully attempted to apply for leave to appeal an Equality Court judgment on her racist Facebook rant, says a News24 report.

The argument was that she had not stipulated an address for documents to be served and lodged her application in the Magistrate’s Court, not High Court, said the ANC’s lawyer. He added that the notice of appeal was also delivered outside of the stipulated time period and failed to set out the relevant order and grounds.
