Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>David Mabuza\u2019s daughter Tamara Silinda has successfully halted the distribution of her father\u2019s R44.7m pension fund administered by Alexforbes after an urgent court bid.<\/p>\n

Silinda approached the Mpumalanga high court last week to stop the distribution of the funds because she was not listed as a beneficiary despite being one of her late father\u2019s dependents.<\/p>\n

Nonhlanhla Mnisi, Mabuza\u2019s wife, was named as the only beneficiary to Mabuza\u2019s millions. However, Silinda and her mother, Emunah, submitted a document from the home affairs department that stated Mabuza was not married at the time of his death.<\/p>\n

Silinda\u2019s lawyer, advocate Doctor Sibuyi, told judge Johannes Hendrickus Roelofse earlier on Tuesday that a document in their possession suggests Mabuza had told Alexforbes in May he wanted to change his nomination of beneficiaries and include his children. However, that never happened, and he died two months later.<\/p>\n

Sibuyi said: \u201cI\u2019ve have a letter on record dated September 11 2025. It was written by Mabuza\u2019s daughter Lindeni and directed to [Alexforbes]. The purpose of the document was to check with them with regard to where they are with the distribution of the money.<\/p>\n

\u201cA response from Andrew from [Alexforbes] reads: \u2018Dear Lindeni, thanks for the chat yesterday [and] for giving me information about your family. I understand you are going to the master\u2019s office. I have attached your father\u2019s latest statement, which shows names of full beneficiary.<\/p>\n

\u2018We had a recent discussion with David [DD Mabuza]. He wanted to change the beneficiaries, and we did send him the paperwork. He mentioned he wanted to nominate his children, and what I said is we wanted the details of the children and [then you can] sign the nomination form.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabuza\u2019s siblings, who support Silinda\u2019s court bid, were all smiles as they left court after the judgment.<\/p>\n
