Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, RioZim (Private) Limited, sought to interdict respondents from mining on Wendale 43 Block mining claims registered in its name since 1974. The respondents claimed title through a special grant from the Ministry of Mines. The High Court dismissed the application finding a material dispute of fact. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, finding no genuine dispute of fact.
