Mabuza's Millions! Family Feud Erupts Over Late Deputy President's Pension!
Johannesburg - A legal battle has erupted within the family of the late Deputy President David Dabethe Mabuza over his substantial pension payout. The dispute centres around a R44.7 million payout from Alexander Forbes, South Africa’s largest insurer, intended for Mabuza's wife.
The legal challenge has been brought forward by Tamara Silinda, reportedly Mabuza's daughter born out of wedlock. According to court documents seen by Fullview, Silinda claims the funds are crucial to cover her education expenses, including school fees, accommodation, and a monthly allowance – all of which were reportedly provided by her father during his lifetime.
David Mabuza passed away on 3 July 2025, following a brief illness. His passing has now triggered this complex legal entanglement, pitting family members against each other over his considerable estate.
The Heart of the Dispute
The core of the argument appears to be the allocation of the R44.7 million pension payout. Silinda's application highlights the importance of these funds for her continued education and well-being, arguing that her father's support should continue posthumously.
What's Next?
The case is scheduled to be heard in court next Tuesday, where a judge will have to weigh the competing claims and determine the rightful allocation of the pension funds. This is a developing story and Newsrpt.com will continue to provide updates as they become available.
