Facts of the Case
Background
First applicant and first respondent are gold miners in the Odzi area with adjacent mining claims. A boundary dispute was determined in favour of the first applicant by the Acting Provincial Mining Director in December 2014. In May 2017, the Minister of Mines reversed this decision without hearing the first applicant, prompting a review application and this urgent application for an interim interdict.
