Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiffs, ZANOREMBA HOUSING COMPANY (PVT) LTD and CHIGUMBA PROPERTY HOLDINGS (PVT) LTD, claimed ownership of a housing project in Unit L Extension, Seke, Chitungwiza, alleging the land was allocated to them in 2004. The defendants, including a cooperative formed in 2013, claimed the project was a cooperative and alleged fraudulent misrepresentation by the plaintiffs' director, Christopher Chikavanga Chigumba. The court found in favor of the plaintiffs, holding that the land was allocated to them and not to the cooperative.
