Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, grandfather of 17-year-old minor K.N, sought appointment as guardian after the death of his daughter (the child's mother). The child's father was believed to be in South Africa with unknown whereabouts. The applicant had cared for the child since birth but failed to provide sufficient information to satisfy the court that appointment was in the child's best interests.
