Sfiso Ncwane's children demand a share in their father’s estate
The 'Kulungile' hitmaker reportedly left all his estate to his wife Ayanda Ncwane, and now her step-children are demanding a share of their father's fortunes.
The late Gospel musician Sfiso Ncwane died on 5 December 2016. According to a report by the Daily Sun, he left all his estate and his music catalogue to his wife Ayanda Ncwane, who is currently the CEO of Ncwane Communications.

It is reported that Sfiso's children from previous relationships have taken Ayanda to the High Court.
The children, one of them who is above 18, claim that they deserve a share in their father’s estate because he used to support them financially when he was alive.

Daily Sun reports that Pinky, the mother to one of the children, claims she also deserves a share because she isn’t working and cannot afford to support Sfiso’s son.
The publication has revealed that Sfiso's will was signed on 1 October 2016 and Ayanda is the beneficiary signed as witness one and two. This, according to experts, makes the will invalid.
The children born out of wedlock, Snqobile Mzelemu and Sduduzo Dlamini, claim Ayanda wants everything to herself and her two children.
The publication also claims that in the death notice submitted on February 2017 by Ayanda to the Master Court, only two of Sfiso’s children are mentioned, and all the other ones born out of wedlock are not mentioned.
They claim Ayanda lied to the court about Sfiso's estate and left out some of the things he owned, including his company, Ncwane Communications.
Because of that, the children say Ayanda is dishonest and they want her to be removed as the executor of the estate.
