He applied for leave to appeal against his 2017 conviction but this was denied in the Johannesburg magistrate's court on Monday.Lamola told parliament's justice and correctional services that he was willing to help students who were involved in the protests. However, in Cekeshe's case, he might not be able to help for a while yet.
