Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff built a house on a stand registered in the name of the late Joseph Sithole, who died intestate. The first defendant, Sithole's widow, transferred the stand to herself and later claimed the plaintiff had built the house for the estate to recover costs through rentals before surrendering it. The plaintiff disputed this agreement and sought transfer of the stand to himself.
