Tensions rise as prominent KwaZulu-Natal businessman Dumisani Goba, founder of the South African Traditional Music Awards, struggles with tenants who are allegedly refusing to vacate his high-class Cape Town property.
According to IOL, the property adviser of Goba had instructed the two tenants, who are to remain anonymous, to vacate the property.
The house in question is situated in the suburb of Jim Fouche in Cape Town.
The agent allegedly informed the tenants in early February, that upon expiration of the lease agreement, the agreement would not be renewed. The lease was set to expire on the 31 May, 2024.
According to the terms of the agreement, the parties were to enter into a 12-month lease between the period of 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024 at R50 000 per month.
The tenants are said to have ignored the agent’s instructions and remained on the property as residents. It has since been confirmed that legal action would be taken against the tenants, who are refusing to vacate the house and are leaving the owners with little options.
As it stands, phone calls made to the tenants have gone to voicemail and text messages sent have received no response.
Goba has allegedly confirmed that he had given orders for the agent to apply for an eviction order.
