Godfrey Nzira are embroiled in a wrangle over who should be appointed executor to the estate of the late spiritual leader.
Nzira’s estate includes Mhundwa Village Shrine in Seke, nine vehicles among them a Mercedes Benz and a Range Rover and a residential stand at Unit O, Seke.
The estate has since been registered at the High Court, but no will has been filed yet, a development that has resulted in a preliminary dispute over who should be appointed executor to the estate.
Nzira’s widows, according to the papers filed at the High Court, are Hellen Gadza, Princella Makaza, Sipelile Rushwabwa and Spiwe Hlabati.
Madzibaba Nzira succumbed to hypertension on October 23 this year.
His death came some months after his release from prison where he was serving a jail term for rape. He was released on health grounds.
Last Friday, the Office of the Master of the High Court conducted an edict meeting that ended in stalemate after the family members failed to agree on the nomination of an executor.
At the meeting, each of the wives, children and relatives suggested different names with an indication that the parties were far from reaching a consensus.
Brother to the late prophet Mr Thomas Nzira was the one who registered the estate but he was moving for the appointment of the family’s eldest son Ocemega Nzira as executor.
Parents of the late prophet Mr Sainet Nzira and Mrs Susan Nzira together with two of Ocemega’s siblings, concurred with Thomas’ suggestion on the suitable executor.
On the other hand, another woman and her children wanted Mr Thomas Nzira himself to administer the estate.
It also came out from the edict meeting that the late Madzibaba Nzira wanted Attorney-General Mr Johannes Tomana appointed executor but he decided to hand over the papers to a lawyer identified as EE Ndlovu.
Some were moving for the appointment of that lawyer as executor.
The development resulted in Mr Mutasa intervening by calling for another meeting on December 15 with the intention of ensuring the appointment of an executor agreeable to all the parties.
Some beneficiaries and relatives indicated that there was a will and some important documents kept by the lawyer.
In a letter to the beneficiaries dated December 2, 2011, Mr Mutasa said the estate had gone for a long time without an executor adding that the situation will promote abuse and grabbing of assets.
