Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, being the surviving spouse and children of the late Lemani Makombora, sought an interdict to prevent the respondents (other children of the deceased) from selling a property allocated to them from the deceased's estate. The applicants alleged that the estate distribution was based on fraudulent misrepresentations that excluded them as beneficiaries.
