• 0:29
  Speaker 4: one simple question.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: What are you doing at the courthouse today? Oh.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: She started making trouble.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Where does she stay?
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: With us.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: In the house?
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: No, not in the house. They got a window.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: LBI at the back of the house?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: Why does she want to claim this house and she
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: knows it's not hers?
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: That's what we're trying to find out here today.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: How long have you been coming here now?
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Third time today. But she isn't present.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe she's scared of the law. We were forbidden to
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: do that, whatever, whatsoever. Now maybe she fears to hear
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: that stuff.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: She doesn't want to hear that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Maybe, I don't know what's up.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: What is your brother saying?
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: I don't know if he's scared of her or what,
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: because he doesn't do a thing. I can say he's
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: supporting her.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And then how many siblings are you?
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: We are four at the moment.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And your parents, they passed away?
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: They passed away, yes.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: This is like a big problem in South Africa and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in Cape Town.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: Does your parents still owe anything on the house?
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: No, no, the house is... paid up over 37 years ago.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: When my father passed, my mom inherited the money.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Paid it up?
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So your mom was clever?
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: That's why the house is divided between us. Each of
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: us got a percentage. My oldest daughter went to buy
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: the house.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's still going to stay in the family.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: The last time I told the judge, my kid got
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: an interest in the house, so he told us to
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: come back today to give him clarity Oh.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: What's going to happen.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: So your kids actually also being very smart about this, eh?
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: Actually, I told her, you buy the house, it stays
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: in the family. And if they want to stay on here,
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: they need to pay. They need to pay.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That's very smart of you, eh, sir?
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: If your daughter doesn't end up buying the house and
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: this woman tries to get it from.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You, what does she have against you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: I don't believe that she's going to get the house
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: because she doesn't have a job.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: How is she going to pay? Her husband is supporting her.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Ah, your brother.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: He's got his own business.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He should actually be supporting his blood.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes. But you can't talk to him.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: He doesn't listen. He's very stubborn. He's older than me,
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: so actually I'm the baby.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: So that's why he's like, I'm actually the Buddha here.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's respectful.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And let's stick to what I say.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Yes, something like that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much for your time, sir. What are
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: you doing at the courthouse today?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'm here on a continuation of a trial.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What is the trial about?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: It's a common assault.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Against yourself or did you assault someone?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm being accused of assaulting somebody. It was self-defense, but okay.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But okay, let's get into it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: The person obviously laid a charge of assault against you.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Basically, he'd been very inappropriate with my wife.
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So I confronted him. And I just wanted him to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: basically stay away from her. He then threw a punch and.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He threw a punch?
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: But that's obviously not you that's assaulting him.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: No, but he's lying.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Who went to the police first?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: He called the police. Ah, I see.

  Speaker 2: She's saying she knew all about it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: What?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That they were going as a family.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But without you? Come on.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's what they're saying.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And they have kids as well?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: They've got an older kid.
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: He's about 13, I think.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: And your wife obviously, like, gobsmacked about this message.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, no, she feels it was totally inappropriate.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Completely?
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: When you hear stories like this, where somebody has the nerve, like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: what do you think is going to happen, sir?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Well, exactly. I mean, you know, he's obviously pushing his luck.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But he's very touchy-feely with other women.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: In the complex?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: People that were in the complex.
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It's really not, it's not allowed. And it's really inappropriate.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: It is totally inappropriate.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: You have a massive reason as to why you did
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: what you did.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But thank you very much for your time, sir.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: No problem. Thank you.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Bye-bye.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: Okay, bye. So it's happening in Namibia, hey?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I feel like I've seen this TV show.
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: Because what do you mean they propositioned that man's wife?
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm getting from the situation.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's... That's what I heard.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: If you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: That's a bit of a.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Read between the lines. Or actually read.
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: And unless wifey is lying and just standing by her man,
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: we've also seen that story unfold many, many times.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, now you're accusing her of lying on an affidavit,
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: which is a crime in itself.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about the wife. The other wife. Oh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: you must clarify, Sherilyn.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Okay. Do you know what I'm saying?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: My neighbour.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: On the left of me. He's got a business in Namibia.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Legit business. Yeah, a proper business. Never once asked my
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: wife to go with him.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: And asked you to stay behind.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: And Mario is in and out of Namibia all the time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Not once.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Not one invite.
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: Not once. Come on, Mario.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: I was getting so nervous when you mentioned on what
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: side the man lives.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Now we're even on first name basis.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's fine.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: He's a sweetheart of a neighbor.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: No, Mario's never invited my wife to Namibia.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Trustworthy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: What is going on here? What is happening? What is
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: going on?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just bringing the stories here.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Once again, I come back and I go, I live
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the most boring life.
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: When they say know thy neighbor, this is not what
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: they mean.
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: And even the first story when your neighbors, also your
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: family members, and now there's drama over property. Another thing
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: that's very common, like you said, Ramiz, in Cape Town.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: But can we really just get to the bottom of that?
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: Can people also just stop being so entitled when it
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: comes to their parental homes?
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Or inheritance.
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: You know, I come to work. I go home. I
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: love my wife. Fetch the kids. Have dinner.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Play with the dog.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: Go to bed. Rinse, repeat next day. These oaks are
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: doing stuff out there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: No Namibian trips.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: We really don't know what people are up to.
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: But we all learned a new word today as well.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: And that word is lecherous.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: I mean, I knew.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: There's always a creepy dude in the complex.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: A touchy-feely one. Thanks, Remy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's my pleasure.
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: Good job, Remy.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: It's Mimi Webb on KFM Mornings. Five to eight o'clock.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I'm learning things about the suburbs.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: You're safe in the city.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You think this doesn't happen in the skyscrapers here in
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: the city?
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: I'm sure it does.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Listen, at least we own up to being a bit messy.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: With your white picket fences?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Uh-uh, uh-uh.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Those people in the CBD, yeah, they hide it. They
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: hide their things, guys. They never want to speak to
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: me when I'm in here.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: So maybe we all have things.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I see them.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: We've all got demons.
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: Maybe we all have things is the lesson, yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: I don't have time.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Why do you want to know my story?
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Leave me alone.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That's that. That's them.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Let's not turn on each other, guys.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: So let's see what the gallery has to say here. Crack, man.
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: If this man is planning a trip away, do you
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: really think your wife is all that innocent?
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: I was not being caught because this man sent my
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: frow a WhatsApp to go to Namibia.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: So people have crazy problems.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Ramis, like how does that brah even have the neighbor,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: yeah the neighbor's wife's WhatsApp number in the first place?
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Why does he have the number?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He's just so involved, his wife is just so involved.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Karen, wife is in on the deal.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: She's just playing under the ass now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: She's very much in on the deal.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: This guy, I think he has to start looking at
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: his own life.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: His wife has an affidavit.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: The WhatsApps have been deleted. There's no screenshots. I think
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: there's more to this story. I don't think this is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: just the guy taking a chance with his wife.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I think his wife is covering something up.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Swingers is real, guys. Swingers is real. Lots of people
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: do it. I'm not saying it's okay.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying it's more common than you realize.
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: So we're learning.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Swai braai and swai complexes and swai suburbs. I've heard
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: of a spit braai, never of a swai braai. But
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: also then clearly things can take a turn and now
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: we end up at court now.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Because people overstepped the mark, maybe. We don't know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 10: But I must say that was strange. The lack of screenshots.
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: It's 2026, it's so easy to just take a screenshot.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially if you feel like you've been violated in
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: some way. You go, oh, I'm going to catch this
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: before he deletes for all.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: But then they do say that that guy is kind
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: of the creep of the complex, you know. He moves
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: a bit inappropriately, but then again, he said, he said.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: We don't know the other side.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: We only have one side. We only have one side.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: Your move, judge. Good luck with that one. Good job, Ramiz.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We are always left with more questions than answers.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: Always.
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: But thank you very much.
