Health and Child Care permanent secretary Aspect Maunganidze has taken legal action against his deceased father's estate at the High Court. The dispute centers on property located at 11 Marden Crescent, Avonlea, Harare, which Aspect claims his father gave him as a wedding gift in April 2000. His father, former Tourism permanent secretary Bradah Sylvester Maunganidze, later left the same property to two children from an extramarital relationship through his 2009 will. Aspect argues the bequest is invalid because the property had already been transferred to him. Justice Fatima Maxwell presided over the case and will deliver her ruling later.
The respondents contest Aspect's claim, stating no formal deed of donation exists. They point out that Aspect waited more than two decades before asserting his rights to the property. Legal representatives for Langton and Letwina Maunganidze maintain the will remains valid. Aspect seeks to have the contested portions of his father's will declared legally void. The case highlights complex family inheritance disputes involving multiple claimants.
