'We have let down our father late deputy president David Mabuza and disappointed him with this matter. He kept his family life private. He would not have done things this way.'
These are the words of one of Mabuza's daughters shortly after the Mpumalanga high court granted an interdict against the administering of his R44m pension payout.
Lindeni Mabuza said she had been supporting her sister Tamara Silinda in her bid to stop the payout to Mabuza's wife Nonhlanhla Mnisi, who was named the beneficiary. Silinda and her mother, Emunah, submitted a document from the department of home affairs that showed that the 64-year-old Mabuza was not married at the time of his death on July 3.
