I would like to see more clarity on what constitutes a "justifiable reason."

I agree that critical infrastructure is one such reason.

Some might argue that multi-homing is another (although this is also dubious 
given that one can announce both a supernet and a subnet thereof).

I feel that it would be of much better for both the applicant and AfriNIC if 
it was clearer what justifications are reasonable. This would save both the 
applicant and AfriNIC from spurious applications and claims of unfair 
treatment.
