Actress Tino Katsande Barred From Father’s Funeral
Television and radio personality Tino Katsande and her siblings were barred from attending their late father’s funeral by their stepmother.
ZimMorning Post reports that Tino Katsande’s father Chief Nyamukohwo real name Smason Katsande died last week after a long illness and was buried in Mutoko. He was 89.
Even when the Chief was still alive, it was reported that a bitter war of inheritance between his second wife Dorcas and children from his first marriage has been ragging on.
Dorca’s relationship with her 5 stepchildren had deteriorated to the extent that she kept the Chief’s worsening health condition a secret.
“She wanted to shut them out of the running of the family business which includes at least fifty shops including the famous green complex at Murehwa Centre (Mapereke Complex). They even took each other to court.
So the children all knew his condition and constantly checked on him but when he eventually died, Mbuya Dorcas did not inform them about his worsening condition and even his death,” revealed a source who is a close family member
When the chief’s first wife died he married a young wife Dorcas who is the same age(42) as Tino who was born in 1979.
It is also reported that Tino and her siblings resented their stepmother due to her young age and tried to clip her wings accusing her of manipulating their father who was suffering from advanced dementia.
Dorcas fought back and successfully applied for a peace order against one of Tino’s brother – Rukariro.
The respondent is ordered not to visit 273 Mutoko, not to approach or visit Chitangazi Clinic Farm, Mapereke Farmer’s shop, Mapereke Children’s Ministries, Chitora Farm and Murewa Complex, read part of the peace order that was granted on 20 June last year.
Chief Nyamukohwo left behind a vast business empire that includes over 50 shops, properties in Harare, Marondera, Murehwa and Mutoko.
