In 2022, Mr. and Mrs. Khumalo sold their farm to Peter and Jenny who are married in
community of property. A right of usufructuary was reserved over the farmstead in favour of
the Khumalos for as long as they lived. This right has not yet been registered against the title
deed of the farm. Peter and Jenny sold the farm to Matilda, who knew about the usufructuary

Matilda decides to develop a part of the farm as a sectional title unit complex. However,

opinion, the farm belongs to her, and therefore, she is allowed to make her own decisions
regarding the farm.
Matilda makes life unbearable for the Khumalos due to constant excavations near their
farmstead. As a result of the nuisance and Matilda’s ill-mannered behaviour towards them, the
Khumalos had to leave the farmstead on the farm on which they lived. The Khumalos describe
