Overview

• Mbombela High Court reserved judgment to 30 September after the judge cited discrepancies between Alexander Forbes’ schedule of benefits and policy documents.
• Alexander Forbes must file affidavits by 26 September clarifying its paperwork and whether the late deputy president’s funds sit in a pension fund or a life policy.
• Applicant Tamara Silinda seeks an urgent interdict to block any payout and requests interim relief of R127,990 for tuition plus R40,000 per month to continue medical studies at UCT.
• Court filings show Nonhlanhla Patience Mnisi as the nominated beneficiary for the R44.7 million living annuity, while Tamara and her mother contest a posthumous marriage certificate and note a death certificate listing Mabuza as unmarried.
• Several of Mabuza’s children and his sister publicly backed Tamara’s challenge, and the court heard the funds have not been released to the nominee.
