Lovers' tussle over VW SUV gift ends in court pretorianews
Pretoria - A white Volkswagen Tiguan was the subject of a bitter legal tussle between a British man and his now former South African lover - the man insisting he had bought the car for her as a gift and that it was his to drive whenever he was in the country. Sweetness Khomola’s relationship with Garry Cotterill soured last month, and she moved out of their luxury townhouse in Pretoria East. She went back to her parental home in Atteridgeville.
The project engineer at a major car manufacturer said the Atteridgeville area was notorious for unauthorised sporadic strikes which “almost always disrupted the public transport system”.Khomola wanted an urgent order that her former lover hand the car over to her. He instituted a counter application in which he wanted to interdict her from using the car pending a further application to finally determine its ownership.
Khomola was also ordered to hand over the keys and registration papers of the vehicle to the sheriff of the court to be kept “in custody” until it was determined who could get the car. Last month she travelled to work in the company car and left the vehicle in the driveway of their home, but had the keys with her. Cotterill was at the time in the UK.When she returned home, she was told by the estate security that she could not enter the gates and was not allowed access to the Tiguan.She returned to the estate with the police as she wanted to fetch her belongings, but was still refused entry.
