The lawyer representing the daughter of late former deputy president David Mabuza in a R44.7m court battle over his pension, says when someone dies, it doesn't mean that the life of their dependents must come to a standstill and they end up on the streets.
Doctor Sibuyi was speaking to Sowetan outside the Mpumalanga high court on Tuesday, where Mabuza's daughter Tamara Silinda and her mother Emunah want the disbursement of his R44.7m pension that is with Alexandra Forbes to be halted until they have enforced their rights as beneficiaries.
While Mabuza nominated his wife Nonhlanhla Msibi as the sole beneficiary of his millions, Emunah claims in court papers that she is Mabuza's customary wife and their daughter Tamara was born out of that marriage.
