A family member told ZiMoja that Dingaan’s assets were scrutinized prior to his death on Thursday, May 9th.
The family member said:
“A lot of selfish acts have happened to Dingaan, and it’s time they are now exposed. Now, his dad wants to be in charge and take his assets when he has children of his own. They are the ones who are supposed to enjoy his legacy. The children are still waiting to be cleansed.”
Local netizens turned to social media to express their disgust with the legal struggle, questioning why the boxing legend did not settle his affairs before his death.
Nokwanda Ayanda was shocked:
“14 kids, how did he get to that yet still ended alone?”
iBhubesi has questions:
“Did he not draft a will? These are the things that we must learn to do while still alive so that your death must not bring about war.”
Afro Finest is in disbelief:
“So disgusting.”
Takalani feels sad:
“Sad story.”
The Great Brown is unhappy:
“Eish, it’s sad.”
