The parties, married in Zambia in 1967 under the Marriage Ordinance, returned to Zimbabwe in 1978-79. After 45 years of marriage and 23 years of separation, the plaintiff sought divorce and property division. Three properties were in dispute: Bindura (sold by defendant), Gweru (acquired by plaintiff post-separation), and Bulawayo (registered in both names but claimed by plaintiff's sister).
