Michelle ‘Moana’ Amuli’s burial has further been delayed again as judge, Justice Kwenda asked for more time as he is yet to finalize his decision.
“I’m aware that I made an undertaking that the ruling will be ready by 230 but the case isn’t a common one so it requires going through thoroughly. My ruling is not yet ready. My assistant will be in touch with the lawyers. Judgement is reserved,” said Justice Kwenda.
Justice Kwenda said, he will communicate with the parties’ lawyers as soon as possible.
The burial of Moana was postponed last week after her mother, Yolander Kuvaoga, represented by her lawyer Jerome Madondo, made an urgent chamber application at the High Court to nullify the burial order issued on November 18.
This comes after her father Ishmael Amuli, last week dramatically seized the burial order and threatened to bury her as per the Moslem tradition, leading to the mother, Yolanda Kuvaoga, approaching the High Court on an urgent basis.
Yolander wants her late daughter to be buried at Zororo Cemetery as she claims that if her daughter were to be buried the Muslim way at Warren Hills, she and others would not be allowed to attend the funeral.Moana’s remains are still at a mortuary at Parirenyatwa with all burial now in limbo as the parents fight over control of the funeral program.
She died in a horror car crash that also claimed the life of controversial businessman Genius ‘Ginimbi’ Kadungure and of their associates Karim Cazal Limumba from Malawi and Alichia Adams from Mozambique.
THE High Court will today rule on the urgent chamber application by the late Michelle “Moana” Amuli’s mother to nullify a burial order issued last week.
Moana’s mother, Yolanda Kuvaoga sought to stop the deceased’s father, Ishmael Amuli from proceeding with burial at Warren Hills in line with his Islamic beliefs.
Had it not been for the court action, burial would have proceeded on Friday. Under the Islamic way, women are not allowed during the burial process.
Amuli and the Registrar of Births and Deaths are cited as respondents while Yolanda is also seeking to have Zororo Cemetery on the outskirts of Harare along Seke Road as the burial place.
Justice Pisirai Kwenda will hear oral arguments from the parties. According to the court papers, Yolanda argues that Amuli was being dishonest with regards to Moana’s burial.
“On 18 November, Kuvaoga and Amuli agreed that the deceased would be buried at Zororo Cemetery in the presence of her relatives, including Kuvaoga, her sisters and other family members.
“On 19 November, Amuli unilaterally obtained a burial order in my absence when at all material times we had always agreed on the funeral arrangements.
“Amuli advised me that the deceased would be buried according to the rites of Islam in my absence, contrary to what we had agreed.
“Amuli stated that I would be excluded from the funeral gathering, which would be unacceptable as I am the mother of the deceased and loved her dearly.”
Yolanda is also basing her fight on the fact that Moana was no longer living an “Islamic life”. “More fundamentally, the deceased had remote ties to Islam as evidenced by her lifestyle, which was more secular.
“The deceased was a popular personality with huge following, apparently it would be unfair not only to me but to other people and relations who knew her personality.”
Meanwhile, Yolanda on Friday threatened to undress in protest against taking the body of Moana to a Moslem church.
“Nhasi ndatouya ndakapfeka kataiti kane maresi mukati ndakamirira kuti vakangoendesa mwana wangu kuchurch yeMoslem ndaisvikobvisa hembe nekuti mwana anga asisaende kuMoslem,” she said.
“Moana had since stopped following that religion and everyone could see it from her dressing and clubbing.
“More so she died while coming from a night club, taking her body to a Moslem church is violation of the late’s rights as well as fighting me in the name of religion.
“He met me in a pub and by that time I was 15 years when I got pregnant and I want to believe he is the first to abuse me to be wild but today he wants to claim to be an ardent follower of Moslem religion.
“Moana died aged 26 and I am 41 years old, if you calculate our age differences it clearly shows that I gave birth at a tender age,” she said. Amuli is being represented by Ashiel Mugiya, who told H-Metro on Friday that they would contest the application. “We have opposed the matter and it has been postponed to Monday for argument. The court has invited the parents of the deceased to give oral evidence.
“So we are happy that, at least, the court has stopped the mother from removing the body without a valid court order and we believe that it is improper for the mother to seek to bar the father
