flag A South African court delays ruling on who inherits R44.7M pension from late deputy president David Mabuza, as widow and customary wife dispute rights.

flag A South African court is deciding who inherits the R44.7 million pension of late deputy president David Mabuza, with his widow Nonhlanhla Patience Mnisi and his customary wife Emunah Silinda, along with Silinda’s daughter Tamara, making competing claims. flag Mnisi argues she is the sole beneficiary based on a marriage certificate, while Silinda and Tamara assert a valid customary marriage and seek funds for living and education expenses, citing the need to protect dependents. flag The court is weighing whether pension nominations override the rights of other dependents under South African law, with the judge delaying a decision until 30 September pending further evidence on the pension’s legal classification and provider policies.
