Sisters evict half-brother after running business in Cape Town property.

A full bench at the Western Cape High Court in Cape Town has ruled against AL and other occupants in their appeal to halt eviction from a commercial property located in Gatesville.

This decision, issued by Judge Dumisani Lekhuleni with the agreement of Judges Noluthando Nziweni and Pinda Njokweni, marks the end of a prolonged family conflict regarding the management and ownership of a deceased estate.

The case revolves around a property on Klipfontein Road, Gatesville, previously owned by the late AML. After her death in 2005, her daughters, NL and RL, were appointed executrixes of her estate in November 2021.

During her lifetime, AML allowed her stepdaughter, A, to operate a general dealership business from the premises. The business operated since 1980 until A's death in May 2018.
