Row over Tekere’s estate
By Daniel Nemukuyu
TWO wills have emerged in the estate of the late nationalist Cde Edgar Tekere, with a woman claiming the bulk of his property was bequeathed to her 16-year-old daughter.
The girl – whose birth certificate confirms the late national hero was the father – produced a second will through her mother after another one that Dr Ibbo Mandaza, as the executor, had already filed at the High Court.
The will that was first filed at the High Court was dated 6 May 2011 and it granted Ms Pamela Tekere, the surviving spouse, control and use of all the property in the estate as well as taking half of the money in bank accounts.
The other half, according to that will, was bequeathed to the St Augustine’s Orphanage in Penhalonga.

The violence, observers say, proves the British are not champions of democracy and human rights.
Yesterday, British Prime Minister David Cameroon deployed 16 000 armed police officers in the streets with an instruction to use whatever tactic and resources at their disposal to crush the rioters.
