A BULAWAYO woman is seeking an eviction order against her grandson, who allegedly brings prostitutes home and sleeps with them in her presence.

Agnes Nkosi, whose age was not given, yesterday told Bulawayo magistrate Victor Mpofu she was not prepared to go back home with her "grossly disrespectful grandson".

In his defence, Khulekani Mpofu, 22, said his grandmother heard noise made by rats and mistook it for love-making sounds.

Nkosi said: "Your Worship, we sleep in the same room. I sleep on a bed and he sleeps on the floor. He brings girls at night and has sex with them in my presence. Lokhu yikudelela okuphezu kokudelela (This is gross disrespect), I've never seen such disrespect in my entire life!"

"I sometimes hear noises of him engaging in sex and in the morning I see them going out. I want him gone by end of today because I can't stand him anymore. He stole five bags of maize from me and he's a well known thief in our area".

She told the magistrate that she does not have peace with her grandson because he steals her clothes.

Nkosi said out of the four pairs of shoes she used to own, she is left with one after Khulekani stole and sold the other three.

Nkosi and Khulekani live in Old Magwegwe.

She told the magistrate that she also feared that her grandson would call his friends and gang up on her. The magistrate asked Nkosi to give Khulekani two weeks to find alternative accommodation, but she would have none of it.

"You mean you want me to sleep in the same house with him again today? I can't accept that. I want him to move out today," she said.

Magistrate Mpofu asked Khulekani: "Is everything well upstairs? You really cannot control your feelings? Why do you steal and sleep with women in your grandmother's presence?"

Khulekani told the court that what his grandmother hears are the sounds of rats and not his girlfriends.

He said he is unemployed and obtains money by selling Nkosi's property to buy himself clothes and shoes.

Despite her protests, the magistrate ordered Nkosi to stay with her grandson until April 10 or when he finds another place to stay.
