Facts of the Case
Background
Five applicants, former workers of Bingaguru Farm, were resettled on the land by traditional leaders in 2011. The respondent council partnered with Sports Leaders Institute of Zimbabwe which took occupation in February 2020 and began creating a fireguard. On 25 July 2021, applicants learned of plans to erect a boundary fence blocking access to their homesteads, prompting this urgent application.
