Land Appeal 37 of 2023 Judgment Mrisha J

The trial tribunal erred in law and fact by failing to properly evaluate the evidence regarding ownership, by relying on uncorroborated oral evidence of sale, and by introducing extraneous issues such as limitation without hearing the parties. The appellant proved, on the balance of probabilities, that the disputed land was the property of his late father, and the respondent failed to establish lawful ownership or transfer. The trial tribunal's judgment and decree are nullified, and the disputed land is declared the property of the late Said Mlambo.
