Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiff, while resident in Botswana, purchased a residential stand in Glen View, Harare through his nephew and arranged for it to be registered in his sister's name as nominee. The sister and her late husband registered the property in their names and developed it. The plaintiff later demanded transfer of the property into his name, leading to this dispute over ownership.
