More than 13 out of wedlock kids vie for Mujuru estate

A major showdown looms within the late Retired General Solomon Mujuru's family amid reports that more than 13 children he allegedly sired out of wedlock were fighting for a share of their father's estate.

However the General's widow and Former Vice President Joice Mujuru allegedly agreed with other close family members to bar the so-called illegitimate children from claiming a stake in the estate until they have undergone paternity tests.

This comes as Newsday sources yesterday said stakeholders and family members had been invited to an edict meeting to be held at the High Court on March 20.

Speaking at her husband's memorial service in2013 the former VP said many children were likely to emerge from the woods to make claims against the estate, but said she would insist that all such claimants take a DNA test.
