Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought a mandamus order compelling Chitungwiza Municipality to deliver a lease agreement signed in 2012 regarding Stand 32393 Unit K. The municipality had allocated the stand to the applicant in 1980, and after she applied for acquisition in 2010, both parties signed a lease agreement in 2012, but the municipality refused to provide the applicant with her copy despite accepting rates payments in her name.
