Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, who have lived on Farm 27 Chitomborwizi East for over 60 years, seek to stay execution of a default judgment evicting them, pending their application to rescind that judgment. The farm was originally occupied by their father and later transferred to their brother Antonio Mapfumo Chiguvare, whose estate is now administered by the first respondent.
