Background
The case involves a property dispute over Stand No. 149/ST 53 Mandava Township, Zvishavane. The appellant occupied the property since 2011 based on an agreement of sale with Esrom Hove (deceased). The respondent, as executor of Florah Mpofu's estate, sought eviction claiming ownership through an alleged 1998 sale to Mpofu. The appellant opposed eviction citing an extant court order and irregular cession documents.
