Karoli Kanwa v. Yustinian Mpinzire, (PC) Civ. App. 182-M-66, 18/12/67, Duff J.
Plaintiff claims a piece of land in Bukoba district for a five –year-old girl. (The report does not indicate the legal or familial relationship between these two.) It is claimed that the girl inherited the property from an aunt, who in turn had obtained the property upon the death of the aunt’s father in 1934.
Held: Inheritance of land by females in Bukoba district was not possible before 1st September, 1945 when the Rules Governing the Inheritance of Holdings by Female Heirs came into effect. Since the aunt could not have inherited the land, the chain of title of the girl was incomplete and the action failed.
