Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff and third defendant both claimed rights to stand 9314 Budiriro Township through separate agreements with the deceased wives of Thomas Munemo. The deceased wives had assumed rights under a lease-to-buy agreement with City of Harare after Thomas Munemo's death. Both parties obtained agreements from the wives, but the plaintiff's agreement was concluded after the third defendant's and involved proper payment and documentation with the City of Harare.
