The Master of the High Court has now called a
meeting of family members and other potential beneficiaries for next week to
sort out the way forward and deal with administrative details such as the
appointment of the executor.
A Harare man, Mr Nomatter Zinyengere, claiming to be Ginimbi’s best friend, this week registered the deceased’s estate and
unsuccessfully tried to push the Master of High Court into accepting the
unsigned will.
The Herald said the will shows that Kadungure owned the
Domboshava mansion, a company called Infinity Gas, an undisclosed fleet of
vehicles and several other companies.
The custodians of the unsigned will, Ranros Estate
Administrators, wrote a cover letter seeking the speedy acceptance of the
unsigned document as the actual last will and testament for the distribution of
the estate.
They argued that some of Kadungure’s companies in Botswana
have stopped operating since that country requires an estate to be reported to
the authorities before operations can resume.
“The deceased died before signing his last will and
testament. We are therefore kindly asking your office to urgently convene a
meeting with all beneficiaries so that you can accept the will and issue the
court sealed letters of administration.
“The deceased had a running business in Botswana and it
stopped operations on November 9, 2020. The laws of that country require the
estate to be reported to the Master of High Court within 14 days so that
operations will resume.
However, the Office of the Master through a letter signed
by K F Chigomararwa, an Additional Master of High Court in-charge of the
Deceased Estates, refused to be pushed into accepting the unsigned will.
Instead, she asked the Kadungure family members and other
beneficiaries to attend a meeting on Wednesday next week.
