Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a 60% shareholder and former managing director of Wentso Milling (Pvt) Ltd, sought an urgent interim interdict to regain control of the company's mining operations. He alleged he was unlawfully dispossessed of his control through invalid resolutions passed by minority shareholders (his mother and brother) while several related court cases were pending. The court granted a provisional order restoring his operational control pending the resolution of the main dispute.
