VICTOR’S KIDS TEAM UP AGAINST HIS WIFE
MBABANE - The two children of the late Victor Gamedze, whose paternity was once questioned, have joined hands against the wife of the late businessman and football administrator.
Nosipho and Wandile are opposing the application filed by Gamedze’s wife, Princess Lungile, who wants to be given a half share plus child’s share from the multimillion estate of her late husband. Princess Lungile is further seeking an order declaring that with her late husband, they were in a universal partnership. A universal partnership is one that includes all the present and future property of the partners and all burdens or losses which without fraud, are incurred by either partner and that is exemplified by the community of property between husband and wife under Roman Dutch law or the civil law.
Elegible
The princess approached the court after the Master of the High Court ruled that she was eligible to receive a child’s share from the multimillion estate of her late husband. In her answering affidavit, Nosipho argued that there was no sufficient proof that Lungile established, funded and operated the deceased’s businesses. “There is also no substantial evidence that the businesses were jointly operated and that there was sharing of profits,” contended Nosipho. She told the court that the applicant (Lungile) failed to attach her tax returns to show the sharing of the proceeds. These are allegations whose veracity is still to be tested in court. According to Nosipho, there was no reason why the applicant never challenged the late Gamedze on all these issue if they were of a concern to her and unconstitutional.
Attached
She averred that there were no supporting business documents attached to Lungile’s application to support that they (Lungile and the late Gamedze) operated the business as a joint venture and shared all profits. “There is also no conclusive proof of civil rites marriage between the applicant and my deceased father and therefore no dual marriage to attract the application of Section 24 and 25 of the Marriage Act,” she argued.
