SEBOKENG.- An argument between a ‘Ben 10’ and his ‘sugar mama’ apparently led to him burning her house in Zone 14 recently.
It is said that the 56-year-old woman had decided to break up with her young lover but little did she know that her lover (36) would resort to setting the house on fire.
The woman has been left homeless and is living in the garage of her burnt out house. The boyfriend allegedly fled the scene after setting the house on fire and was apprehended by community members seven days later in Evaton where he was alleged to be hiding.
Speaking to Sedibeng Ster the woman said that she had been dating the man for about a year and three months and that the young lover moved in with her just after a month after they started dating.
“We had fights like any other couple. But it came to me that there is nothing I can do with him when he is drunk. I decided to break up with him and so that we can move on with our lives,” said the distraught woman. She adds that she is unemployed and needs help of any kind.
“I regret knowing him. I should not have allowed him to move in with me. Now everything I worked for all these years has been destroyed.”
The boyfriend has been arrested and an arson case is being investigated.
