VP Mujuru 'fails' to register her late husband's Estate, children cry foul

EMBATTLED Vice President Joice Mujuru has been accused by the children of her late rich husband Solomon Mujuru of sabotage by delaying to register the million dollar Estate left by her husband who died in a mysterious inferno about 4 years ago.

According to Section 5 (1) of the Administration of Estates Act, it is peremptory for immediate relatives of the deceased to notify the Master of the High Court's Office of the death through registration of the estate within 14 days.

But since General Mujuru's death in 2010, the estate that is believed to be worth millions of dollars has not yet been registered. And if the late general left a will, its existence and contents seem not to have been made available to all interested parties.

Some of the children and companies interested in the estate have written letters to the Master of the High Court inquiring as to why the estate remains unregistered years after the general's death.

Two of General Mujuru's children, Tawanda and Tsitsi Mujuru, wrote to the Master of the High Court towards the end of 2013 inquiring on whether or not the estate had been registered. Their mother,Simbiso Chisirimunhu, died in 2011.

Last year, guardians of Tawanda and Tsitsi, who are believed to be domiciled in the UK, were quoted in the media as saying the delay in distributing Mujuru's estate had left them struggling to provide for the two who were both not yet independent.

The matter is pending before the courts.
