A Diepsloot woman and her daughter claim they were scammed out of almost half a million rand in an RDP property transaction in October 2022, leaving them repaying bank loans for a house they have never occupied.
Despite the unresolved ownership dispute, individuals allegedly involved in facilitating the sale continue to collect monthly rent of R11,000 from tenants residing on the property.
Sindiswa Mzekwa told Sowetan she became interested in the RDP house after seeing it advertised. The property is located a few streets from where she lives with her partner in Diepsloot Extension 2.
