Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, as executrix dative of her late husband's estate, sought condonation to appeal late against a High Court judgment that ordered transfer of Stand 2699 Gwelo Township from the deceased estate to the first respondent. The first respondent claimed the deceased had sold the property to it during his lifetime, while the applicant disputed this claiming the property still belonged to the estate.
