Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff purchased rights to house number 64 Nzou Street, Rimuka Kadoma from Lilian Gumbochuma who had inherited the property from her late father. The defendant claimed to have purchased rights to the same property from Gillian Tapiwa Chivaura in 2009. The property had been fraudulently sold in 2002 by Francis Dzimbanhete (Lilian's husband) to Smart Samuriwo, leading to a chain of subsequent sales. Lilian Gumbochuma successfully rescinded the initial sale in 2013 and sold the property to the plaintiff.
