Naume Makumbe (54) was remanded to March 30 on $30 000 bail
when she appeared before magistrate Yeukai Dzuda.
The complainant is Pfugari’s eldest son, Edward Nyanyiwa
(Jnr), who has taken charge of the
business empire following the death of his father in 2019.
The late property developer, also known as Pfugari, had
five wives, including Mildred Nyanyiwa, who is the accused’s late mother.
At the time of her death, Mildred was on separation with
Edward (Snr).
Allegations are that sometime in March 1980, the late
Edward (Snr), registered Eddies Pfugari (Pvt) Limited with Mildred as a
co-director.
Mildred later resigned from the directorship on July 30,
1989 and died in 2005.
After she passed away, the accused registered her estate in
2015 under DR 2895/15 while her father was still alive.
Edward Snr was then summoned to an edict meeting to choose
the executor for Midlred’s estate and he contested, arguing that the deceased
had no properties that qualified to be registered as such.
He, however, passed away before the matter was resolved and
an executor was appointed by the Master of the High Court under DR471/19.
Between April and October 2019, the accused reportedly
tendered fake copies of a marriage certificate between her mother and Edward
(Snr) for administration of the late businessman’s estate.
The marriage certificate was taken to the Registrar of
Marriages where it was found to be fake, leading to her arrest. Newsday
