Just after retiring, former deputy president David Mabuza moved his millions from the Political Office-Bearers Pension Fund to a living annuity which states that only beneficiaries nominated by him, in this case his wife, will get all his R44.7m.
However, upon funding out that Nonhlanhla Mnisi was the only beneficiary, Mabuza's daughter Tamara Silinda and her mother Emunah approached the court to halt the distribution of the money, claiming that they are also beneficiaries.
Emunah also said she was Mabuzas widow, as they were married under customary law in 1999, and while they were separated at the time of his death, they never divorced, she said.
