Succession rows can overwhelm our courts

Covid-19, just like the Learnen Hydra, presents itself as an insurmountable force across the world leaving a trail of destruction of people’s lives and their livelihoods. It cuts the imagery of a deadly viral disease that, despite causing isolation, requires collective effort to get rid of in the midst of strained resources and dying populations.

The gradual infection rate could have become uncontrollable at some point. The proverbial Hydra was also a force to reckon with for Hercules and his nephew, Iolaus. It was a monstrous serpent with nine heads and for each cut off, two more sprout and, of the nine one was immortal. Bearing in mind that eliminating it was not an easy fete, Hercules resolved to take the bull by its horns and fiercely attacked the Hydra.
