Based on the letter from Mudzusi Molobela Inc Attorneys dated 30 January 2026, here is a summary of the accusations, required actions, and deadlines.

Key Accusations

The letter levels several serious allegations against Nomusa Ramushu and her associates:

Inappropriate Conduct & Isolation: It is alleged that Ramushu imposed herself on the deceased despite being unwelcome and used a “fraudulently obtained” court order to isolate Mutumwa Dziva Mawere from his family at a retirement home.

Medical Neglect and Deprivation: The attorneys claim the deceased was deprived of necessary diagnostic medical treatments, psychotherapy, and an MRI for a neurological disorder between March 2025 and January 2026.

Concealment of Evidence: The letter asserts the burial on 26 January 2026 was “rushed” specifically to conceal evidence of criminal offences and medical neglect.

Criminal Allegations: The document directly accuses Ramushu of murder, criminal contempt of court, and perjury.

 

Required Actions

The firm, acting on behalf of the Mawere family, demands that Nomusa Ramushu consent to the following:

Exhumation: The body of Mutumwa Dziva Mawere must be exhumed.

Private Autopsy: A comprehensive private autopsy must be conducted to establish the “underlining and primary cause of death,” as opposed to the immediate cause (collapsed lungs/chest infection).

Stay of Reburial: Any reburial must be stayed until a final determination is made regarding the deceased’s permanent resting place.

 

Timelines

Burial Date: The funeral took place on Monday, 26 January 2026.

Response Deadline: Nomusa Ramushu is required to provide a response to these demands no later than 17:00 on Friday, 13 February 2026.

Note: Failure to accept these requests will result in the family approaching the courts for “appropriate relief”.

Difference between the original court application and the recent letter, organized by feature:

• Immediate Trigger

  • Original Affidavit: The news of the death and the move toward a burial the family did not authorize.

  • Recent Letter (30 Jan): The fact that the burial went ahead on 26 January 2026 despite the family’s formal objections.

• Primary Request

  • Original Affidavit: Sought an urgent interdict to stop the burial and requested a private autopsy before any interment took place.

  • Recent Letter (30 Jan): Demands exhumation because the burial has already occurred and persists in the demand for a private autopsy.

• Accusations

  • Original Affidavit: Focused on the “fraudulent” way Nomusa Ramushu gained control over the deceased via an ex parte order while he was still alive.

  • Recent Letter (30 Jan): Explicitly lists murder, criminal contempt of court, and perjury as offences committed by Ramushu.

• Medical Argument

  • Original Affidavit: Noted the deceased was in good health in March 2025 but died suddenly after being isolated from his family.

  • Recent Letter (30 Jan): Alleges specific deprivation of neurological diagnostic treatment, an MRI, and psychotherapy during his confinement at the retirement home.
