Adam Ndlovu ex-wife Dudu Mpofu and his daughter in the centre of controversy
THE ex-wife of the late Zimbabwean international, Adam Ndlovu, who separated from him more than 10 years ago has mounted a vicious court battle to inherit his multimillion dollar estate, court documents have revealed.
According to court documents Duduzile Mpofu who is based in England, Nottingham is suing her late ex-husband's brothers Madinda, Marko and Peter for not involving her in the execution of Adam's estate despite having divorced the former Switzerland-based striker, ZimDiaspora reported.
Duduzile's daughter with the late Adam is reported to have enjoyed a huge financial windfall from his insurance after being granted US$45 000.00 recently, which in essence was given to Duduzile herself as the child is less than 18. Duduzile now has two other children with another man from Harare whom she is reportedly living with in England.
Duduzile is now seeking to grab Adam's mansion in Bulawayo, according to legal papers. She is also seeking for Adam's laptops and souvenir football t-shirts.
Conversely, Adam's diaries show that at the time of his death he had spent years without access to his daughter who lives with her mum in England.
As result of the bizarre legal battle, the Ndlovu family has decided to postpone Adam's memorial indefinitely.
Duduzile has a 16 year-old daughter with the late Adam and is quarrelling over the right to inherit his estate. Duduzile who filed divorce proceedings against the former Zimbabwe striker went on to have two other children with another man in England. According to documents left by the late Adam, Duduzile wrote a letter to Adam stating that she would never fight for any of his properties "all I need is that support your child".
Adam also has a 22-year old daughter who is studying at a South African university.
Adam Ndlovu died after a tyre burst on the car in which he was travelling near Victoria Falls Airport, causing the car to leave the road and hit a tree on 16 December 2012. His brother Peter, the former Coventry City striker was critically injured. Adam was also an important member of the country's most successful football squad, the Dream Team. He played for Highlanders, SC Kriens, SR Delémont, FC Zürich, Moroka Swallows, and Free State Stars.
