Turf war over 80 hijacked homes in Pretoria West pretorianews
Pretoria - An ugly turf war is brewing in Pretoria West regarding the rightful ownership of at least 80 residential properties that have allegedly been hijacked in the area. A group called Concerned Residents of Pretoria West said the people who allegedly hijacked the buildings falsified title deeds and occupied the houses illegally. It is believed that the properties were hijacked after a fire in 1997 gutted the then municipal headquarters, Munitoria, destroying property ownership records.
He said 80 properties had been hijacked in Pretoria West. He promised action and said the law would ensure the properties were returned to their rightful owners. One of the tenants said he had been renting a house in Luttig Street for the past two decades. He and other tenants claimed the properties were owned by corrupt individuals who collected up to R2 5000 a month in rentals. He claimed a highly-organised syndicate monitored most of the properties in Pretoria West.“The premier should listen to both sides of the story about those houses. People can't carry on living in squalor while the slumlords are claiming unlawful ownership,” he said.
