The Mpumalanga High Court has ruled in favour of Tamara Silinda, daughter of the late former Deputy President David Mabuza, stopping the distribution of his R44.7-million pension fund administered by Alexforbes.
Silinda lodged an urgent court application after discovering she was excluded as a beneficiary despite being one of Mabuza’s dependents.
At the time of his death, Nonhlanhla Mnisi, who was cited as Mabuza’s wife, had been named the sole beneficiary. But Silinda and her mother, Emunah, challenged this, producing a Home Affairs document showing that Mabuza was not legally married when he died.
In court, Silinda’s lawyer, Advocate Doctor Sibuyi, argued that evidence suggested Mabuza had instructed Alexforbes in May to amend his beneficiary list to include his children — but he passed away two months later before this was finalised.
📌 The case raises major questions about the future distribution of Mabuza’s estate and could set the stage for a prolonged inheritance battle.
