Facts of the Case
Background
This is a property dispute where both parties purchased the same house from the same seller. The respondent Farai Ngorima purchased house number 3795 Ingezi Township Kadoma from Monica Ruvimbo Dzinamarira on 7 March 2007 and obtained registration on 17 April 2007. The appellant Edith Garakara subsequently purchased the same property from the same seller on 13 July 2007, but this second sale was invalid as the seller had already divested all rights to the property.
