Cape Town woman loses High Court bid to recover goods taken by late partner's family
A Cape Town woman is fighting to reclaim her late partner’s belongings from his parents after she was left with no furniture.
In a Cape Town legal dispute, a woman named Tembela Ntloko has lost her High Court bid to recover household goods taken by her late partner's family. The family of the deceased removed items from Ntloko's Parklands North home, including a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, kettle, toaster, television, beds and other furniture.
Ntloko sought a spoliation order from the Western Cape High Court to return the items, but the Nkati family appealed the magistrate's ruling, causing the order to be suspended. The High Court dismissed Ntloko's application, noting that the respondents continued to benefit from their unlawful possession of the assets.
