Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff Joyce Chagadura, who was married to the late Vito Bhero in customary law in 1983, sought to set aside the sale of stand 32 Manga Street New Mabvuku by the first defendant Shelly Antonio (Bhero's first wife married under the African Marriages Act) to the second defendant Regis Muveregi. The first defendant had been appointed executor of Bhero's estate after his death in 2004 and transferred the property to herself before selling it to the second defendant.
