BBC / Isabel dos Santos is the richest woman in Africa, according to Forbes magazine
The Angolan Supreme court has demanded that President Jose Eduardo dos Santos explain why he made his daughter the boss of state oil company Sonangol, reports the news site Rede Angola.
A petition challenging whether the appointment of Isabel dos Santos was lawful was submitted to the court by a group of Angolan lawyers days after the announcement.
The court has now accepted the petition and given the president and his daughter eight days to respond, Rede Angola says.
Ms Dos Santos became of chair of Sonangol’s board of directors in June after the entire board was sacked by her father in April.
