Facts of the Case
Background
Harare Residents Trust, representing Tynwald South residents, applied for orders compelling respondents to establish a public primary school in Tynwald South. The area, established in 1996 for low-income households, had over 1,200 households but no public school. Children traveled long distances or attended expensive private schools. Despite promises since 2006 and allocation of US$200,000 beer levy funds, no school was built.
