Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, an educational centre controlled by Alice Chitumba Pangwai, sought an urgent interdict to prevent transfer of property and shares pending determination of an actio rei vindicatio. The property in question was originally allocated to the applicant by the Municipality of Marondera but was later transferred to the first respondent company. A 5-hectare portion was subdivided and sold to the second respondent.
