Redi Tlhabi and Criselda Dudumashe support Lerato Sengadi by sharing their stories

Redi Tlhabi and Criselda Dudumashe have come in support of Lerato Sengadi.

This follows  Lerato Sengadi who took to her in laws to court   after HHP’s father, Robert Tsambo refused to recognise her as his wife and excluded her from funeral arrangements.

The court found that, according to customary law, HHP and Lerato had entered into a customary union. Even though the court ruled in Lerato’s favour, she was still “snubbed” by HHP’s family at his funeral.

This is what they had to say

Criselda Dudumashe  shared how she was treated as a young widow when her ex-husband died.

“I was young and impressionable, lobola fully paid, I gave birth to a baby daughter, he regarded me as his wife and everybody knew this. When he died I was treated like I had leprosy (infectious disease that causes skin sore),” .“The women in his family were the ones who deprived me the opportunity and right to mourn his death. Women were oppressively driving patriarchal agenda in the name of culture.”

Redi took to twitter to share her story;

What I have found most amusing: Decades after my dad died, every 6 years or so, his family goes to Sunday World to claim that I (not my mom), but I sold their "family house". I was 9 when he died. House sold 2 years later, but I sold it🤣🤣. I don't even remember some of them😂🙄
