MBOMBELA – A South African court has stopped the payment of R44,7 million (US$2.5m) to the late Vice President David Mabuza’s wife, as it ordered an investigation into the number of children he had outside wedlock. The court’s decision was made after his daughter Tamara Silinda, requested that the funds be frozen until all of her siblings can be located. Silinda, a medical student, approached the Mpumalanga High Court last week to stop the distribution of the funds because she was not listed as a beneficiary despite being one of her late father’s dependents.
Nonhlanhla Mnisi, Mabuza’s wife, was named as the only beneficiary to Mabuza’s millions. Her claim is disputed by Silinda’s mother, who was customarily married to the late Mabuza. In his judgement, Judge Johannes Roelofse of the Mpumalanga High Court encouraged the family to find common ground.
“The court grants the application… to be stayed until proper investigation of the dependents of the deceased.
