Two urgent applications concerning mining rights over the same piece of communal land in Madicheche, Pfungwe. Mahudu claims the land as his field and formed Chabvondoka Mining Syndicate to extract gold, while Gwishiri obtained a mining certificate. A Provincial Mining Director injunction stopped all mining pending dispute resolution, but both parties approached court claiming urgency.
