Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, as executrix of her late husband's estate, sought eviction of the first respondent from Lot 56A Umsungwe Gweru, claiming rights under a land reform offer letter issued to her deceased husband. The property was acquired by government and offered under Phase II Model A2 Scheme, but previous litigation had resulted in a provisional order restoring possession to the former owner.
