VENGAI RUSHWAYA VERSUS NELSON BVUNGO AND THE SHERIFF FOR ZIMBABWE N.O (2017-03-27)

This was an urgent chamber application for a stay of execution pending the determination of an application for rescission of judgment.

By consent I could order a stay provided the applicant paid security in terms of Order 32 r 246[3]. More
