When the farm was sold the agreement was that the school, the clinic and some houses which used to be hide-outs for freedom fighters would not be sold. However, some companies later emerged and started claiming that they bought the school. These companies, Unitime led by Antony Parehwa and Release Power led by Oniyas Gumbo started making all sorts of demands. Release Power and Unitime were in possession of different title deeds to the same property and both claimed to have bought the school from Cold Comfort Trust. Unitime sold the school to Herentals which was later ejected from the school. Herentals College vacated the premises and the two opposing companies resolved to go to court, resulting in Release Power winning the case.^[3]
