Dingaan Thobela who passed away in 2024.
THE family feud over the legendary Mzansi boxer Dingaan Thobela’s Will is far from over.
The conflict began in 2024 when Dingaan’s dad, Godfrey Thobela, applied for DNA testing on Dingaan’s kids, and the boxer’s Will became a key issue.
Dingaan, who was known as “The Rose of Soweto,” died on 29 April 2024, at age 57. He was a respected boxer worldwide.
Now, Dingaan’s kids seek public financial support to contest their mkhulu Godfrey over their dad’s Will.
Their main issue is a recently surfaced Will that doesn’t match their dad’s signature.
The kids alleged that it was drafted by their mkhulu and his team. They now aim to hire a signature expert and legal team to challenge the Will’s validity.
During and after the funeral, they allegedly searched for a Will but found none until now.
It’s surprising, they said, that nine months after the DNA saga failed, a trusted source informed them of a Will submitted to the Master’s Court by their mkhulu.
Thando Khumalo (33), Dingaan Thobela’s son, told Daily Sun that since their dad’s passing, they have faced numerous challenges in wrapping up his estate with the Master of the High Court.
He said that what began as a simple task led to family division.

“Recently, a mysterious Will, which we agree does not match our father’s real signature, surfaced. Allegedly, it was drafted by our grandfather and his team, which is stripping us of our rightful inheritance. To fight this injustice and protect our father’s memory and his legacy, we need financial support,” he said.
Thando said they aim to hire a signature expert and a second lawyer to challenge the Will.
“The resources we require for this legal battle surpass our current means, and we are hopeful you can help us in our time of need,” he said.
He claimed the signatures on the Will don’t match their dad’s, leading them siblings to suspect fraud.
He said generosity and support are crucial to uphold their dad’s legacy and secure what belongs to them.
Another son, Alton Ramaru, confirmed to Daily Sun that he is part of the fight for their dad’s legacy.
Dingaan’s dad, Godfrey, declined to comment when contacted by Daily Sun.
“I got no comment, and sorry about that. I don’t want to talk about this. They must go anywhere they want to go,” he said.
