Tanzanian musician Jacqueline Mengi, the widow of the late Tanzanian billionaire Reginald Mengi, has suffered a legal setback in her protracted battle over his estate.

The Court of Appeal has dismissed Mengi’s application to review a previous ruling that revoked her late husband’s will. The decision brings another chapter to a complex legal saga that has been unfolding since the demise of the business tycoon in Dubai in May 2019.

The case centers on the probate of Reginald Mengi’s estate, a matter that has seen numerous legal challenges and counterclaims. The billionaire’s death triggered a dispute among family members over the control and distribution of his vast wealth.

Mengi’s widow has been a central figure in the legal proceedings, contesting the validity of a will that excluded her from being the sole beneficiary of her husband’s assets. She has consistently challenged the appointment of alternative executors and sought to reinstate the original will in her favor.

The latest ruling by the Court of Appeal represents a significant victory for the opposing parties in the case and is likely to have far-reaching implications for the distribution of Reginald Mengi’s estate.

Legal experts anticipate further legal maneuvers as the battle for the billionaire’s wealth continues.
