Facts of the Case

Background

The claimant purchased a four-roomed house in Kuwadzana in November 2009 for $10,000 which was fully paid, but transfer was not completed. In November 2011, the property was attached by the deputy sheriff to satisfy a judgment against the seller, Langton Mwarazi. The claimant instituted interpleader proceedings claiming ownership but failed to file proper opposing papers as required by Rule 232.
