    Judge found the children had genuine shared care with substantial involvement by both parents; relocation to South Africa would materially diminish the father’s day‑to‑day role due to practical travel and roster constraints and would likely harm the father‑child relationship; social welfare reports and the children’s expressed preference to remain in Hong Kong supported retention of the status quo. On welfare grounds the application to permanently remove the children was refused.
