The businesswoman, daughter of former Angolan president José Eduardo dos Santos, faces a “deep void” with the death of her husband, Sindika Dokolo, at age 48, while diving in Dubai.
The friends now fear for the health of Isabel, who is still trying to digest what happened to the father of her four children, with whom she had a relationship about two decades ago. The condolences once called the Princess of Angola are many, but Isabel prefers to remain silent during this period of mourning.
In social networks, she has just published a photo of the beginning of the relationship with Sindika with the message to inform about the death of her husband, which had already been shared by the family. The priority of the businesswoman is now her four children, to whom she is dedicated in this painful stage.
POLICE CLARIFY
Shortly after the news of Sindika’s death, various sources pointed to conflicting accounts of the tragedy. If there were those who claimed that Isabel dos Santos’ husband had suffered a pulmonary embolism while coming out of the dive, other sources reported a head shock, which would have been fatal.
Presidential candidate Ana Gomes went even further, stating that the death of Sindika Dokolo – also accused of various crimes, along with the woman – was “very strange.”
However, after the first days of speculation, the Dubai police, where the couple were on vacation at the time of the accident, declared that they did not suspect any “criminal act” in the death of the businessman.
“We do not suspect any criminal act in the death of businessman Sindika Dokolo, 48, who drowned while snorkeling in the north of the island of Deira,” the emirate police announced in a statement.
According to the authorities, the warning was given on October 29, when they received “an emergency call” to warn of an accident at sea. The maritime rescue teams were “immediately sent” to the scene, but could not do anything, since Isabel dos Santos’ husband was already dead. Several attempts at resuscitation have been made, but to no avail.
Sindika Dokolo practiced a form of diving, known locally as ‘al-hivari’, which does not use breathing equipment and is based on the exclusive use of air in the lungs.
The statements of friends of the businessman and the medical-legal report allowed “to conclude that there is no suspicion of crime in this death,” said the general.
MILLIONAIRE MARRIAGE
Isabel dos Santos and Sindika Dokolo fell in love in 1999 and married three years later, in a ceremony considered millionaire, which goes down in history as one of the most luxurious in Angola.
Throughout the two decades of life together, the couple, who had four children, always remained together and, on social networks, the exchange of declarations of love was a constant. The couple had the habit of sharing several exciting photos of their travels around the world, always with their children.
In the biography ‘Isabel dos Santos: secrets and power of money’, the daughter of José Eduardo dos Santos is described as a woman “devoted” to her husband who, more than a partner, was a right hand, with whom she spoke about everyone . However, Sindika always claimed that Isabel was the great leader of the relationship. “I am more listening than speaking, because she is the one who has the good ideas, the right vision,” he said.
Now, the businesswoman loses her great support, her lifelong companion and her friends fear that Isabel will lose her strength, at a time that was already difficult and that now turns into deep suffering with the death of Sindika.
