Illegal occupant of Gogo’s house evicted
Langaville - The woman illegally living in Gogo Ntombizodwa Ndlovu's house has been evicted.
The story of Gogo Ndlovu featured in the African Reporter of May 1, ‘Someone else is living in my house’, where it was reported that Ndlovu was unable to move into her RDP house, because it was already occupied by someone else.
Thuli Mokoena (49), who claims to have lived in the house for five years, refused to move out.
Metro spokesman Themba Gadebe say the address (site 80/19530) is registered in the name of Ntombizodwa Johanna Ndlovu, and confirmed it is illegally occupied by Mokoena.
“Ndlovu was unable to take occupation as a result of Mokoena’s refusal to vacate,” says Gadebe.
According to Gadebe, Nkosi made a commitment to ensure the illegal occupant vacates the house this month.
He adds, according to the local councillor, Mokoena has been staying in this house for a period of a year.
“Should the ward councillor fail in her endeavours, the metro’s Corporate and Legal Department will be requested to obtain the eviction order for the eviction of Mokoena,” concludes Gadebe.
This will not be necessary, however, as Mokoena was evicted on Wednesday.
It is believed the Ndlovu family took the matter into their own hands and removed her belongings from the house
According to Nkosi, the Department of Housing instructed her to evict Mokoena legally, and not in this way.
She says she received a call from a resident on Wednesday informing her that Mokoena’s belongings had been taken out of the house by the Ndlovu family while Mokoena was at work.
Nkosi says an agreement was reached, together with the police, for Mokoena’s belongings to be transported elsewhere.
