Facts of the Case
Background
Applicants, members of Gillingham Pay Scheme, were allocated stands 2224-2296 in Glaudina Township by City of Harare in 2014. They developed infrastructure including roads and water reticulation. In March 2024, City of Harare authorized NSSA to construct a junction using draft plan TPY/WR/1/24, which would encroach on applicants' allocated stands. Applicants sought urgent interdict to stop construction.
