This sadly is a common occurrence.
Under the Succession Act, when a child dies (who is due an inheritance) with children of his/her own, he or she is deemed to have died AFTER the testator, in this case the grandmother. So on the assumption that grandmother has NOT and will not change her will now, the share she left your late father will pass according to his will, or intestacy (if he didn't have one).
So when your grandmother passes away, the share your father would have been entitled to will go to his estate, and will pass according to his will or intestacy. This ONLY happens where a child predeceases the testator and has children. And if she doesn't change her will in the meantime either.
I hope that helps.

Normally if your father pre-deceased his mother, then her estate will be divided amongst the surviving children. In that case your mother would not get "your father's share". Unless your Gran made a new will to allow for a share to go to your father's widow.
