Lerato Sengadi has been through a lot during the past two years. Not only did she lose her husband, HHP, but she’s been in and out of court with his family, battling her right as his wife.

Lerato Sengadi was barred from HHP’s funeral, his memorial and any other event his family was attending in honour of HHP. His family spokesperson made it clear that Lerato Sengadi, at least to them, was not his lawful wife and they will never let that be the truth. "I would like to put this matter to rest and categorically state on record that Ms Lerato Sengadi is not, and was never married to Jabulani Tsambo.

 

She is not his wife!" Having nowhere else to turn, Lerato took the matter to High Court, and won. However, despite her having won the battle and been named HHP’s lawful wife, Lerato hasn’t seen a cent from her late husband’s estate. The Supreme Court made a final ruling stating that Lerato is indeed HHP’s lawful wife and is entitled to a portion of his estate

 

HHP’s family appealed and the hearing took place on March 6 this year, where, again, The Supreme Court rule din Lerato’s favour. The Supreme Court made a final ruling stating that Lerato is indeed HHP’s lawful wife and is entitled to a portion of his estate. Lerato is extremely relieved that this nightmare is finally over and that her title as HHP’s wife is no undisputable.
