Court Rules That Lerato Sengadi And HHP Were Married Under Customary Law

Court Rules That Lerato Sengadi And HHP Were Married Under Customary Law. Finally the funeral proceedings will go ahead. Judge Mokgoatlheng said that HHP and Lerato Sengadi complied with all necessary requirements under the customary law and therefore Sengadi was HHP’s customary wife.

However, Lerato’s application to stop the funeral of the late rapper Jabulani ‘HHP’ Tsambo has been denied. The judge said that under normal circumstances, as HHP’s customary wife, Sengadi has the right to stop the funeral but based on convenience and the concept of Ubuntu, he is denying the application.

HHP’s father’s argument that Sengadi was not his son’s customary wife because she was not handed over is not valid as handing over is not a requirement under the customary law act.
