Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant and second respondent are registered holders of mining claims in Mashonaland East. A dispute arose when the second respondent allegedly encroached on the applicant's Chifumbi 2 Mine. The first respondent initially ruled in the applicant's favour on 1 December 2022, but reversed this decision on 8 January 2024, suspending the applicant's mining operations. The applicant filed an urgent application for an interdict pending review of the January 2024 decision.
