Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, mother and siblings of minor Tinodaishe Lyanne Mataka, sought court approval to dispose of the minor's 16.67% share in immovable property. The first respondent, biological father, opposed the application citing a restrictive condition he inserted requiring his consent. The mother had already sold her 50% share and used proceeds to develop alternative accommodation for the children.
