The late fitness bunny and social media personality Michelle Amuli, who was popularly known as Moana’s funeral has turned into a circus.
Michelle Amuli, who was supposed to be buried yesterday is still lodged in the mortuary, with a her maternal and paternal family engaged in a bitter war of wills.
Michelle’s paternal family, who follow the Islamic religion, are demanding that she be buried according to the Q’uran prescribed funeral rites for the dead, which include a cleanse and one being buried in a shroud instead of a coffin.
Meanwhile, Moana’s mother Yolanda Kuvawonga wants her daughter to be buried in a coffin accompanied by an exuberant funeral wake for her send-off.

So bitter is the dispute that it has not only spilt on social media and television, but it has spilt into the courts as well, where the court will rule on the best way forward.
Moana’s stepmom, who raised her, also gave her 2 cents on the matter and said the deadlock on the burial is because her mother wants farewell celebrations, while the Amulis want a simple “Muslim burial.”
This obviously did not go down well with Moana’s biological mom, who believes the stepmother is behaving like the biological parent and she told her to kill her own daughter if she wants that role.
Initially, Moana’s burial was delayed because her body had to undergo DNA tests to confirm identity, as she was burnt beyond recognition in the car accident which claimed her life.
Moana died after the car she was in exploded before she and 2 others could be rescued.
They were with businessman Genius Kadungure also known as Ginimbi, who unfortunately died from haemorrhage and blunt force trauma after being pulled out of the car.
