JOHANNESBURG—Drip founder Lekau Sehoana slammed claims that his wife and child were evicted from a luxury estate for not paying rent.
Drip founder Lekau sets the record straight
According to TimesLIVE, allegations surfaced that Waterfall Residents Developments filed a court application at the South Gauteng High Court after Sehoana's son and wife were allegedly evicted for being in arrears of his rent.
Sehioana, in a statement he posted on @LekauSehoana, said the reports were an attempt to deviate from the fact that his company was celebrating five years. He said he had not lived with his wife, with whom he is divorcing, for three years. He claimed she sub-let the property to people he did not know and was informed when the landlord told him that the South African Police Service wanted to investigate the murder of his former MD, Glenda Ndlanzi.
