Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants, claiming to be members of the Gillingham Pay Scheme, sought to interdict the construction of a road junction by the City of Harare and NSSA, alleging it would encroach on stands they were allocated in Glaudina Township. The Council denied allocating any land to the Scheme and alleged the allocation documents were fraudulent.
