Radio and TV personality Anele Mdoda has weighed in on the Connie Ferguson tenant scandal that has been doing the rounds on social media. The actress and businesswoman is reportedly locked in a bitter dispute with tenants who owe her a staggering amount in unpaid rent and are refusing to vacate her property.
Connie Ferguson's tenant trouble
According to reports, Ferguson's tenants owe her approximately R500,000 in unpaid rent. To make matters worse, they have dug their heels in and are refusing to leave, forcing the star to consider taking them to court at her own expense.
The situation highlights a frustration shared by many South African property owners, where legal proceedings to evict non-paying tenants can be a lengthy and costly process, leaving landlords out of pocket while owing parties remain in occupation.

Anele Mdoda reacted to the situation on X on 12 October 2026, and she had a straightforward solution in mind. She wrote:
"She is renting out a house, and they owe her half a million in rent!!!! And they don't want to move out! Now she must spend money taking THEM to court. She must move her cousins in. She will decide who her cousins are. 😎"
X users react to the drama
The post sparked a wave of conversation among netizens, with many sharing their own landlord frustrations and offering creative suggestions.
@ThobaniMpungos2 confirmed who the tenant saga was about, writing:
"The one and only Connie Fergueson? What is happening? Sometimes I don't understand people; that is why I don't like renting a house to the same person for more than 2yrs! I also have a tenant whom I am taking out in December… He now gives me attitude when I want to come around for a check-up."
@Lebotheblack had a more colourful take on Anele's "cousins" suggestion:
"Let the cousins be our Phara brothers; she must tell them they are welcome and can eat anything in the fridge/kitchen in the meantime and leave them in the house. No need for money to hire lawyers. 😭👍🏿"
@ThobaniMpungos2 also summed up the general sentiment around the situation:
"You owe me! Yet you don't want to move out… that is totally disrespectful!"
