A 26-year-old Gweru man is locked in a fierce fight with his aunt over his late parents’ estate.
Hilton Trevor Maisiri is now homeless after his late mother’s sister, Simekuhle Mnguni Ncube from Bulawayo, kicked him out of the family house in the leafy Southdowns suburb.
Maisiri is son of the late Ruth Maisiri, a high school teacher and small-scale miner and Herbert Maisiri, a Gweru businessman and miner.
“My mother, Ruth Maisiri, who was a teacher and businesswoman, died in March this year while my father, Herbert Maisiri, died in 2000. My late mother’s relatives are now running my late parents’ estate. They have kicked me out of the family house in Southdowns. My mother’s sister, Simekuhle Ncube, and her son Fortune Ncube, are leading the group that is locking me out of my parents’ home,” said Maisiri.
He said he was unemployed and had no place to call home.
The homeless Maisiri said his aunt, Ncube, had taken over the running of the Maisiri estate.
Maisiri said his late parents left a house in Southdowns and another in Nehosho.
They also left three chrome mines and a gold mine in Shurugwi as well as several cars including trucks.
Maisiri said every effort to return to his parents’ house in Southdowns was met with strong resistance from the Ncubes and other maternal relatives in Bulawayo.
“My cousin Fortune who is a school student at Midlands State University slapped me recently for simply trying to gain access into my parents’ house. He stays at our house whenever he is in Gweru for his studies. Fortune told me I was not respecting his mother by coming back to the house despite the ban,” he said.
He said his aunt Ncube was playing the “divide and rule” game as she was keeping his younger brother, Hillary, 23, closer to her while alienating him.
“We are three in our family, my brother Hillary and the last born who is doing Upper Six in Gweru. I love my brothers but my aunt portrays me as a dangerous, irresponsible person who should be kept away from home. I fail to understand how my mother’s relatives have gained control of my late parents’ estate. Even the house maid has been given powers to lock me out. Also staying at our house is Godfrey Karimazondo who is the manager of the mines. He used to attend the same church with my mother and he also chases me away from the house. My father’s relatives have been alienated from the estate as well,” said Maisiri.
He said he was married and has a six-month-old daughter.
Maisiri said he asked his in-laws to temporarily take care of his family as he fights to take control of his parents’ estate.
“I want to be recognised as my late parents’ eldest son. Whenever I raise the issue, my aunt starts accusing me of having killed my mother so that I could gain control of her property. My aunt is also collecting rent from our Nehosho house and cash from the mines. She only gives me $90 a month for my upkeep. I used to run my own mine claim when my mother was alive. My mother would also make sure that I was comfortable after I moved out from the family house after getting married. All the comfort I used to enjoy ended with my mother’s death,” said Maisiri.
The aunt, Ncube, dismissed Maisiri as an irresponsible man.
Speaking from Bulawayo over the phone, Ncube said her late sister Ruth kicked Maisiri out of the house because of his stealing habit.
“He is the reason why my sister is dead. Police even said he was on their wanted list because it’s a known fact he is a criminal. He broke into my sister’s house through the ceiling at one time as he wanted to steal cash from a safe in the house. I am still mourning my sister but all that he wants is to control my sister’s estate. He dropped out of school after his mother had paid full fees at the School of Mines in Bulawayo. His mother decided to rent a room for him in Mkoba because she wanted to rid herself of the stress that came with staying with a criminal,” she said.
Ncube said her nephew was the family’s black sheep gifted with a sweet tongue.
She said relatives only wanted to make sure that Maisiri did not cheat his siblings of their inheritance.
“Maisiri needs to be patient. We are not after my sister’s estate. I have my own things. The boy is a conman and we are not going to budge as a family simply because he has engaged the media. I know you Chronicle people you are fond of writing sensational stories that sell your paper. The boy needs to be told that his late father left liabilities and nothing else. My late sister had to start again with the help of the manager, Karimazondo,” said Ncube.
Fortune admitted slapping Maisiri.
He, however, said he did so because he was smoking mbanje and he wanted to discipline his cousin.
Karimazondo denied ever locking Maisiri out of his parents’ home.
He said: “Maisiri is a thief. Others lock him out because he steals items from his late parents’ house.”
Kwekwe lawyer, Valentine Mutatu, who is representing Maisiri, said the law was very clear when it came to issues of inheritance.
He said estates of the deceased are automatically inherited by the surviving spouse but if there is no surviving spouse, the children become beneficiaries.
“We are registering the estate. We will remove the people who are at the Maisiri house, Number 26 Westwood Road, Southdowns. We will serve them with eviction papers first. It is criminal for other people to take over the estate of the deceased if the children or the deceased’s spouse is still surviving. All this is spelt out in the Deceased Persons Family Maintenance Act, Section 10,” said Mutatu.
