Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants, brother and sister who claim to be lawful heirs to their late mother Alison Jean Diedricks, sought to be joined as parties to existing proceedings concerning Lot 2 of Clipsham, Masvingo. They contend their mother owned an undivided half share of the property, which was later co-developed with Shell Zimbabwe (now Zuva Petroleum) to build a filling station complex. The property is now the subject of dispute in HC 3727/20 where the first respondent seeks transfer of stands 2418 and 2442 that form part of the filling station complex.
