VANDERBIJLPARK – It is Women’s Month though not everyone is ‘hooha’ and ‘gugugaga’ about it.
Shelly Mosai, a landlady in Vanderbijlpark, recently fell prey to an assault when a tenant’s boyfriend punched her in the eye and allegedly threatened to ‘eliminate’ her. The fight between the landlady and the suspect (boyfriend) erupted when he slept over, disrespectfully flouting the landlord’s rules. Apparently other tenants obey the rules.
And there are rules, Mosai says: “These children live under my roof and they are my responsibility.
“Rules are: no alcohol, no noise and no boyfriends who sleep over.”
She has complained several times over the boyfriend’s behaviour toward the tenant.
The tenant apologises on behalf of the boyfriend. She thought he would wake up and start treating the landlady with the respect due to her being an older person.
Landlady Mosai said a dispute between her tenant and her boyfriend erupted when he came for a visit and parked his car in the gateway: “I asked him to move the car and he started to behave otherwise. He started calling me names and swearing at me. As if that wasn’t enough, he gave me a strong right hook and proceeded to beat me up while swearing at me.”
She has opened a case of assault with the Vanderbijlpark Police, which confirms the case. The assaulted landlord says they will meet in court.
