Facts of the Case
Background
Two corporate entities sought delisting of farms (Doondo and Sholliver) compulsorily acquired by government in 2005, claiming the acquisition violated policy against acquiring land from indigenous black Zimbabweans. The application was brought through Nicholas Vingirai who claimed personal ownership despite farms being registered in corporate names.
