An argument prompted a 27-year-old woman from Mohlakeng to start a blaze that destroyed her boyfriend’s house on Real Rowers Street recently.
Captain Appel Ernst, Randfontein Police spokesperson confirmed the incident that took place at about 5.15am on Sunday, 1 January.
“It is alleged the owner and his 27-year-old girlfriend had an argument. The owner left the house to go and enjoy New Year’s Eve at a local tavern.”
She continued by saying that witnesses alleged the disgruntled girlfriend then set the residence alight. “The entire house and contents were burnt to ashes,” Ernst said.
The woman was arrested and has appeared in the Randfontein Magistrates’ Court last week.
