South African Court Rules on Lekotas Estate Dispute: A Partners Unauthorized Transfers, Legal Costs, and Estate Division
A South African high court recently ruled that veteran politician Mosiuoa Terror Lekota had diminished mental capacity from May 2025 until his death in March 2026. This decision came in an estate dispute between his wife, Cynthia Lekota, and his partner, Luzelle Adams. Lekota suffered a stroke in 2018 and battled prostate cancer, leaving him unable to manage his finances. Adams made unauthorized transfers from Lekotas accounts during his incapacity, including one million eighty-four thousand seven hundred twenty-five rand and six hundred thousand rand to herself. She later sent one hundred fifty thousand rand to herself and two hundred fifty thousand rand to her lawyers, even as negotiations continued. Judge Anthony Miller accused Adams of emptying the accounts without consent and appointed Lekotas eldest son, Kotane, as interim curator to protect the estate, especially for the minor child. Adams must now cover Cynthias legal costs, and the court will soon hear more on dividing the estate while Kotane handles the finances.
