A 104-year-old gogo has been evicted from a house she has lived in since 1987.
Apparently the house was sold by brother without her knowledge and now she’s been evicted by sheriffs and cops after he sold it to a stranger – for a mere R1 000!
Gogo Angeline Mseleni from KwaNobuhle kasi in Uitenhage is a strong person with a good sense of humour. But she has become very ill since being kicked out on Tuesday.
The house was allegedly sold to a female cop who lives in East London. Angry residents who tried to prevent the eviction were allegedly pepper sprayed by cops.
Gogo Angeline’s granddaughter, Zukiswa Kraya, said: “The sheriffs came rushing in with cops. They said it was an order of the court and that if we wanted to fight the eviction, we should find a lawyer.
Gogo’s daughter Nontembiso Mtana (62) said her mum was returning from hospital and was about to relax when the sheriffs arrived.
She said gogo’s brother had first tried to sell the house to a relative.
Metropolitan municipality spokesman Mthubanzi Mniki said if the gogo suspected fraud to do with her eviction she should seek legal advice.
