Late gospel singer Sfiso Ncwane’s two children have taken their stepmother Ayanda Ncwane to court in a bid to get their share of their award-winning father’s estate.

Snqobile Mzelemu and Sduduzo Dlamini represented by Pinky Dlamini, Sduduzo’s mother have taken the matter to the Master of the High Court. They are claiming Sfiso’s widow Ayanda is “dishonest and wants everything for herself” and want her to be removed as executor of the estate.

Snqobile who is now over 18 claims to have seen the late singers will and says she was left with nothing and that when her father was alive he maintained her.

She told Daily Sun that she no longer receives money and wants a share of the estate as she is unable to support herself.

Pinky, Sduduzo’s mother is currently not working and is unable to maintain Sfiso’s son that is why she wants a share of the estate.

A source speaking to the publication said, “For the past three years, Sfiso’s kids have been trying to reach out to Ayanda, but she ignores them. In 2018, they approached the Master of the High Court, to get what’s due to them.“They feel Ayanda wants to take everything for herself.”

Sfiso in his will left his assets to his wife Ayanda. The will was signed on October 1, 2016, the singer died the same year on December 5.

The publication also alleges that there is speculation about the validity of the will and according to sources speaking to the paper Ayanda has been accused of sidelining Sfiso’s kids born out of wedlock.

Fans, friends and family of Mary Twala are in deep mourning after the veteran actress’ death a Johannesburg hospital on Saturday morning at the age of 80. Mary captivated audiences of all ages in a career that spanned more than 60 years.

Late gospel star Sfiso Ncwane’s kids are taking their stepmom, Ayanda Ncwane, through the wringer.

They’re demanding a share of their legendary dad’s estate. They also demand Ayanda be removed as the executor of the estate “because she’s dishonest and wants everything for herself”.

As a result, the two children have taken the matter to the Master of the High Court.

Snqobile Mzelemu and Sduduzo Dlamini, represented by his mum Pinky Dlamini, claimed their late dad would have continued to maintain them until they were self-sufficient.Said Snqobile: “I’ve seen my dad’s will. He left me with nothing, I’m not mentioned anywhere in the will. When he was alive, he maintained me through the Durban Family Court.

“But now that I’m older than 18 years of age, I no longer receive the money. I want my share from my dad’s estate as I’m unable to support myself.”

Pinky, on the other hand, said she wanted a share in Sfiso’s estate for Sduduzo.“I’m not working, therefore I can’t maintain Sfiso’s son. Currently, he depends on his grandfather’s social grant and it’s not enough,” Pinky explained.

A source told the SunTeam Sfiso’s will should have been distributed a long time ago.

“When he was alive, he’d buy school uniform for Sduduzo and give him lunch money. From time-to-time, he’d visit him at school.”

Insisted the source: “For the past three years, Sfiso’s kids have been trying to reach out to Ayanda, but she ignores them. In 2018, they approached the Master of the High Court, to get what’s due to them.“They feel Ayanda wants to take everything for herself.”

According to the will, seen by the SunTeam, the late singer gave all his assets to Ayanda and nothing to his first two kids.

It reads, in part: “I nominate my wife Ayanda Ncwane . . . as a guardian of all minor children and . . . it shall not be necessary for the guardian to furnish security. I give my house . . . and all its contents together with piece of land situated in Adams to my wife Ayanda Ncwane . . . I further give all the cars registered in my name at the time of my death to my wedded wife . . . Sanlam policy will be used as a cover for the house bond and I appoint my wife to facilitate the process.

“I give my music catalogue to my wife and this includes all benefits associated with the catalogue . . . I give a directive that my mortal remains be buried at Heroes Acre in Mayville, Durban . . . ”

The will was signed on 1 October 2016. Sfiso died on 5 December the same year.

Added the mole: “There’s a strong belief that Sfiso died without a will, and that someone else decided to write it after his death. Even if he wrote his will, it’s invalid as Ayanda, who is also the beneficiary, signed it as the first and second witness. This invalidates it.”

“Even if he wrote the will, it means his wishes weren’t followed as he wanted to be buried at Heroes Acre in Mayville but was actually buried at Lalakahle Cemetery near Hillcrest.”aid the second mole: “Sfiso had six kids and Ayanda knew them. Four of them were born out of wedlock. But in the death notice submitted in February 2017 by Ayanda to the Master of the High Court, Sfiso only had two kids, Umawenzokuhle Hubani Ncwane and Ngcweti Makadunyiswe Ncwane.”

“It’s clear she intended to sideline Sfiso’s kids who were born out of wedlock.”

The source said Ayanda also failed to disclose Sfiso’s assets to the Master of the High Court.

“In 2017, she submitted a liquidation and distribution account to the Master but intentionally misled the court,” the informant commented.

Khanyi Mbau had fans in a celebratory mode however it was short-lived after crushing their hearts.

The media personality teased fans with an engagement ring and received a lot of congratulatory messages. That excitement quickly died down when she answered a few followers’ questions about marriage, asking whether she got engaged to her lover Tebogo Lerole.

She quickly disputed assumptions that she was engaged and told fans to chill. A follower addressed her as Mrs and she corrected the fan with the word ‘Miss’. Another asked is she getting married, she responded by saying ‘Neeh.’

Another reason to not think she is settling down is the fact that she is wearing the ring on her right hand.

Khanyi was however promoting a jewelry designers engagement ring collection on her IG and might we add, the diamond ring is astounding.
