Newsletter| Following City Press’ articles last week about corporates ousting pharmacies from malls and shopping centres, one of the pharmacy owners who spoke out against the practice was served with a legal letter threatening to evict her
Ntakadzeni Nndanganeni, the owner of Dohwi Pharmacy, an independent pharmacy in Musina Mall in Limpopo, was told that her lease would not be renewed after she rejected offers to buy her out.Nndanganeni said the issue of the amount was previously raised and the matter even went to court, but property company the Moolman Group had dropped it.
The mall’s management had informed her that her lease – due for renewal in September – would not be renewed. Nndanganeni, who has been trading in the mall since 2009, said she was approached as early as January 2017 by banking giant Investec to surrender her business for R2.5 million.According to Nndanganeni’s lawyer, Titus Mokgalabone, Investec won a case to claim the money from her last year after a default judgment at the Musina Magistrates’ Court, but the landlord later agreed not to enforce the judgment.
“They won a judgment against my client, but we are appealing it because they applied for a default even though we filed our papers on time. They claimed we did not and it was handed in in our absence. They [the landlord] had agreed to halt enforcing the judgment, but gave her an offer that was very small and unacceptable. This week, they said they wanted to enforce the judgment and evict her. They also want the money,” Mokgalabone said.
