Controversial businessman and owner of Drip Lekau Sehoana is making headlines after his family was evicted from a posh villa at Waterfall Estate after failing to keep up with rentals.

DRIP OWNER LEKAU AND HIS FAMILY WERE EVICTED FROM THE WATERFALL ESTATE

Confirmed reports have it that the eviction left his ex-wife and son homeless. However, the rumour mill has it that his son was thrown out of school after he failed to settle his school fees for several months.

However, Lekau Sehoana has yet to confirm the news that has thrust him into top trends. The damning allegations were contained in a court application filed by the Waterfall Residents Developments at the South Gauteng High Court.

Lekau Sehoana was evicted last week after failing to keep his promises. Rumour has it that his wife and son were evicted after failing to settle the arrears on his monthly rental bill.

Lekau’s wife, Lebogang, only returned home from the winter holidays to find herself homeless. According to ZiMoja, Lebogang once asked him to sort out the rental drama.

However, the rumour mill said the Waterfall Developers refused to budge and asked his family to move out. A lease agreement was signed by Lekau and Waterfall Residents Developers, and Lekau was expected to pay R35 000 monthly.

The developers said the payments only came through for several months until he defaulted in November and December 2023. When filing the court papers, the developers said Lekau owed them almost R100 000 in rental payments.

MARITAL WOES

Lekau’s wife has since confirmed the news. Speaking to the media, she said, “We are tired of the abuse, the lies and tricks of Lekau. As we speak, his very own son is homeless and out of school with no food and no clothes. He even got a court order to pay maintenance and take responsibility, as he has not for years.”

“In March 2024, he boldly lied during the launch of Claws sneakers, saying his kids would remain in school regardless of the liquidation case against him. Knowing very well that his son had been staying at home for years and had a maintenance court order against him,” Lekau’s wife said.

Lebogang also made it known that Lekau refuses to acknowledge and pay her despite having played a significant role in the formation of the Drip business. She has it that things changed when Drip’s business boomed.
