Arusha. The Musoma Sub-Registry of the High Court of Tanzania has dismissed an application by Wambura Simbanne seeking extension of time to file a notice of appeal against a 30-year prison sentence for manslaughter, after finding that he failed to justify a delay of more than three years.
In a ruling delivered on April 20, 2026, Justice Kamazima Kafanabo held that the application lacked sufficient legal grounds to warrant the court’s discretion in extending time.
