Phat Joe’s eviction drama from lavish Cape Town home grips Mzansi

In another story, Briefly News reported that Phat Joe is seemingly facing turbulent times. The broadcaster allegedly failed to pay rent for his luxury Sea Point apartment in Cape Town.

The situation has escalated to the point of eviction. Reports suggest that Phat Joe's rental arrears have soared to over R600 000; his last payment was in November 2022.

According to IOL, this led to a legal battle, resulting in an eviction order from the Western Cape High Court. Despite his claims of extortion and misinformation, the court upheld the eviction notice.
