Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, son of Tapson and Maria Ndlovu, sought to interdict the sale in execution of a property awarded to him and his sister via a divorce order. The respondents, judgment creditors of Tapson, sought to attach the property to satisfy a debt. The court found that the divorce order had divested Tapson of any interest in the property prior to the attachment.
