The daughter of ex-president José Eduardo dos Santos, married to Sindika Dokolo, indicated that before the funeral ceremonies, a prayer will take place on Thursday in memory of the businessman.
"The ceremony in honor of his life will be on November 5, 2020, at 4 pm in Jumeirah, Dubai", where the family currently resides and where the businessman lost his life last Thursday, in a diving accident, wrote Isabel dos Santos.
The funeral mass will take place on 17 November at the Westminster Cathedral in London (at 10:30 am) and at 9:00 am at the National Museum of the Congo, in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) and in Luanda, said the businesswoman, in Portuguese, English and French.
The location of the ceremony was not indicated in the Angolan capital.
Isabel dos Santos also thanked, on behalf of the family, "for the support" that has been given to them, "crucial" to help endure the pain. "It has been very difficult to accept this unexpected loss and your words fill our hearts", acknowledged the businesswoman.
Sindika Dokolo, businessman and art collector, has been married since 2002 to Isabel dos Santos, of whom she had four children.
He died while practicing a form of diving, locally known as 'al-hivari', which does not use breathing equipment and is based on the exclusive use of the air in the lungs.
Dubai police have meanwhile declared that they do not suspect any "criminal act" in the businessman's death.
