A relative of a deceased woman who had a white wedding with a married man, failed to claim from his estate after the high court ruled that their relationship offended Section 8 of the Civil Union Act.
The ruling comes after Mildred Gasa approached the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on behalf of her late relative, Sindile Ayanda Dlala, who was in a relationship with the late Ndumiso Sizo Mthembeni Mbanjwa.
Ndumiso was legally married to Phelisa Lynette Mbanjwa and they had three children.
