A woman from Soweto, Ntsoaki Sefatsa (49) in Rockville claim a pastor has been enjoying her family's house while she lives in terrible conditions.
"The house belonged to my father. After he died my brother was looking after it but he later bought his own house and we decided to rent it out," she said.
In 2012, Pastor Ngubane Majoe moved into the house and signed a contract promising to pay rent every month. However, things didn't go as planned.
Ntsoaki's daughter Kutlwano (30) said after a year, the pastor stopped paying rent.
"He's now telling us he owns the house but how can this be if we never agreed to sell it?"
He brags to his congregation that he worked hard to buy the house but he's lying.
"When we tried to open a case with the cops they tell us they don't deal with housing matters," she said.
A copy of the lease agreement was shown to the media and nowhere does it state that the agreement is a rent to buy plan.
According to the Sefatsas, the pastor once got into a physical fight with their uncle and they were arrested.
"But the whole community came to our defence and forced the police to release us," they said. Ntsoaki said the pastor was renting out rooms in the house, making money out of her family's misery.
Pastor Majoe told Daily Sun he had a rent to buy agreement and advised the family to open a case at the police station.
