UNISWA MUST PROCESS NOMVUYO’S CLAIMS - DAD

MBABANE – It seems the late former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Swaziland Sports Council, Victor Shabangu, will not be buried any time soon.

While his mother, Joyce Sibandze, successfully filed an application to stop the funeral, Victor’s father, Pitoli has also moved an application at the High Court.

Pitoli is, among other prayers, seeking an order directing the University of Swaziland (where Victor was employed) to process all claims lodged by Nomvuyo Shabangu (nee Kunene).

Nomvuyo is the same woman whom Joyce claimed was not the rightful wife of the deceased as their marriage allegedly ended.
In his application, Pitoli alleged that Joyce was refusing with all the required documents to process the claim hence a court order compelling her was necessary

The applicant (Pitoli) is further seeking an order restraining and interdicting Joyce from removing Victor’s body from Dups Funeral Home Crematorium pending finalisation of the matter.

Respondents in the matter are the University of Swaziland, Joyce and Dups Home Crematorium.
In his application filed under a certificate of urgency, Pitoli stated that on June 16, 2018 his son, Victor collapsed and died in Manzini.
He claimed that the deceased resided with him from a very young age up until he completed Form IV and that when he was doing Form V, he went to stay with Joyce.

Pitoli alleged that he did all the duties a father did for his child and paid for his education from primary to high school.
According to the applicant, at the time Victor commenced his primary education, he was residing with him and he allegedly took full responsibility for his care and welfare.
“I wish to state that I paid out the necessary rituals (umsimeto) for my son, that is damage (imivimba nenkhomo yekumetsenga) to Joyce’s family,” submitted Pitoli.
