Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a registered mining syndicate, sought an interdict and ejectment order against the first and second respondents who were mining on what the applicant claimed was its registered mining location called Nhema 12A. The respondents claimed they were working on a different mine called Buddy, registered in 2006. Mining officials confirmed overlapping ground positions between the two claims, indicating overpegging.
