Charity Dhlodhlo, who appeared in the popular local soap
Studio 263 as Mai Madziva, is facing eviction after she failed to pay $200
rentals.
She has since approached the Harare Civil Court seeking an
interdict against her landlord. Dhlodhlo claims that she entered into a verbal
lease agreement with Anna Ramushi Sango where they agreed that she would pay
$350 per month.
On May 27, 2019 Sango gave her a verbal notice to vacate
the premises if she does not pay the sum of US$200.
“Despite such verbal notice, the applicant indicated that
she cannot meet the respondent’s demand of paying US$200 per month, hence the
respondent is now threatening to unlawfully evict the applicant without any due
court processes,” reads part of Dhlodhlo’s founding affidavit.
“The respondent has already disconnected water supplies and
removed the gate which will make life difficult for the applicant to stay
without those necessities. I humbly submit that the respondent’s action of
taking the law into her own hands is unlawful and should not be condoned.”
The matter appeared before Harare Civil Court provincial
magistrate Mr Lazini Ncube, who struck it off from the roll following
indications that both parties were in default.
