King Monada faces asset seizure after allegedly failing to refund music promoter R111k

According to the publication, the seasoned actress and businesswoman has gone to the Johannesburg High Court to evict a married couple from her Ruimsig, Johannesburg, property, accusing them of failing to settle the R549 302 in rent and related property charges.

Court papers reveal that the actress's company, Connie Ferguson Trading Enterprise, entered into a sale agreement with Vikar and Trisarnia Maharaj on 28 October 2025, who moved into the property on 1 December 2025, after agreeing to pay R65 000 monthly in occupational rent, excluding municipal and other charges, while awaiting transfer.

The former The Queen actress, however, Ferguson claims the couple fell behind on payments. In May 2026, the married pair reportedly blamed their financial difficulties on fraud committed by their accountant and requested more time to settle the debt.

The Maharajs made payments of R165,000 in May and June 2026, but allegedly still owe R549 302 towards the end of August.

Speaking to Briefly News writer Nerissa Naidoo, Mohammed Areff explained:

“Unpaid rent can put landlords under serious financial pressure because they still need to cover bond repayments, rates and other property costs. Landlords should check a tenant's ability to pay before signing a lease and keep a record of all payments.”

Briefly News also spoke to property expert Rajesperi Naidoo about how landlords can protect themselves from rental disputes and deal with tenants who fail to pay. She said:

“Being a landlord is not just about owning a property and collecting rent. It is important to have a clear written lease that explains when rent is due, what happens if payments are missed and who is responsible for different costs. Landlords should also keep records of rent payments, messages and any agreements made with tenants. For me, when a tenant falls behind, I try to communicate with them early and find out whether a payment arrangement is possible. However, if the problem continues, landlords should follow the correct legal process rather than changing locks or removing the tenant themselves. Getting legal advice can help protect the landlord's rights and prevent the situation from becoming more difficult.”

"The nightmare of being a landlord is that someone can occupy your property, stop paying rent, and you still have to fight a lengthy legal battle to get your property back. Who protects landlords from tenants who abuse the system?"

"Are there no private Red Ants to help Connie? On her own, 10 years will pass while she pays rates and taxes for the house she is not benefiting from. This is how properties are hijacked. You enter into a lease agreement; 5 months down the line, payment stops. The laws won't."

@dbn_gk responded:

"May she recover it, and may things also improve for the tenants whether or not they continue with the lease. Amen."

@Shane_Driller replied:

"She must find them alternative housing according to our law."

@Proudly012 reacted:

"People are taking advantage of loopholes in the system regarding house rentals."

"I was dragged to court in 2018 for locking them out & the court told me to go open for them. I left the court and told them to better go get trucks because their goods won’t spend one more day in my house. Went straight home and removed their stuff, locked my property, and left."
