Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiff, Penias Nyamwino, claimed ownership of stand 7874 Belvedere West, Harare, purchased from Saltana Enterprises (Private) Limited in 2006, and sought eviction of the first defendant, B. Gwafa, who had occupied and developed the stand in 2012. The first defendant claimed prior ownership through a 2003 purchase from Travolta Jana, whose title derived from earlier sales after the original buyer defaulted. The second defendant admitted selling the stand to the plaintiff but later claimed it belonged to a director, Mr Pahwaringira, who sold it to the plaintiff.
