Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, two trade unions representing Air Zimbabwe employees, sought an urgent interdict to prevent the transfer of Air Zimbabwe Holdings' shares in its only profitable subsidiary (5th respondent) to a government-owned company. This transfer was perceived as asset stripping that would render nugatory their pending application (HC 661/12) to place Air Zimbabwe Holdings and Air Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd under provisional judicial management to recover approximately US$35 million in unpaid union dues and salary arrears.
