dc.concourt.synopsis	Application for direct access dismissed. The Court did not decide whether the question of a special entry in terms of section 317 of the Criminal Procedure Act raises a constitutional issue, deciding the matter rather on the basis that the applicants had failed to show exceptional circumstances justifying direct access to the Court.
dc.concourt.casehistory	Applicants were convicted and sentenced by a single judge of the Mthatha High Court ; they appealed to the full bench of that court which dismissed the appeal. Applicants then applied for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal which dismissed the application. Applicants now apply for direct access to the Consitutional Court under Rule 18
