Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, children of the late Tapfumaneyi Joshua Kadengu, sought to set aside and reopen the first and final distribution account of their father's estate, alleging that their agreement to be bought out by their stepmother was premised on US dollar valuation, not the RTGS valuation used. The testamentary executor had administered the estate based on RTGS valuations and the applicants' consent to be bought out.
