Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, biological father of a minor child, sought an interdict preventing the respondent (his late wife's sister) from sending the child to Chemhanza Secondary School. The respondent had cared for the child while the applicant worked in Botswana, but disputes arose over school choice when the applicant returned to Zimbabwe in 2019.
