Court Rules Mosiuoa Lekota Unsound Mind Before Death, Orders Estate Oversight

The North Gauteng High Court declared veteran politician Mosiuoa Lekota legally unsound from May 25, 2025, until his death on March 4, 2026, after uncovering that his partner drained his accounts during this period. This ruling validates claims of financial exploitation and prompts legal intervention in estate management, with Cynthia Lekota receiving legal cost support and Kotane Lekota appointed as curator. The estate dispute now moves forward under court oversight, with scrutiny on alleged financial misconduct and appropriate distribution of Lekota's assets.
