Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant was allocated stand 79 Woodlandale, Umguza and issued with a certificate of occupancy. She abandoned the stand for approximately two years, during which time the 3rd respondent (village headman) allocated it to the 1st respondent. A dispute arose over rightful occupation, with both parties having developed the property. The 1st respondent had applied for a peace order at the Magistrate's Court, prompting the applicant to file this urgent application seeking an interdict.
