In the video, which is now circulating online, Queen Nandi alleged that she paid her rent, but was being evicted by 'thugs' allegedly sent by the landlord.
She said she unknowingly rented the property from a woman who allegedly hijacked the building. 'I didn't know. She said it was her house, and now, because she's hijacking the building, she's got thugs to come take out my furniture.
'Now, they've locked me out of this house, while some of my stuff is in there, including my children. My children are in there with thugs.'
Nandipha can be heard throughout the live broadcast repeatedly calling for help, pleading for the intervention of the police. 'We've been calling cops to no avail and my children are being held hostage.'
The alleged landlord, Vuyiseka Mfeqeka, known as 'Sis Vee', countered Nandipha's claims, stating that Nandipha had rented the house specifically to shoot her reality show for eight weeks and that the agreed period had expired.
She also responded to Queen Nandi in a live Facebook video, which is also doing the rounds on social media. 'She was supposed to be out on June 7, but she doesn't want to leave.
'We even had the police involved. We have been going to the police station, but she won't leave.'
Sis Vee also clarified that she didn't hijack the building. She owns the property.

LETTER: It's not normal to dig in bins for food
LETTER: It's not normal to dig in bins for food Casey Andersohn, Cinderella, writes: I stopped at a garage shop to buy a sandwich on my way to work the other day. When I left the shop a young guy was digging in a bin outside the door. He greeted me as I walked to my car. A few thoughts flashed through my mind in a few seconds – how young he was, what it must be like to scavenge in a bin and the fact I just spent R40 on a sandwich while he was digging in a bin for food. I gave him R10, for which he was very grateful. On second thoughts, I should have given him my sandwich. Nonetheless, R10 is not going to render me broke. I know many beggars are on drugs and are con artists. Some are downright scary. Those who beg with children really should be hauled over the coals by the authorities. Why are there so many children begging on the streets of Boksburg, especially near East Rand Mall? Not an adult in sight. I've seen them get up in the morning from their sleeping spot next to the mall's perimeter on Bentel Avenue. This isn't normal. The answer isn't to give them money. But what other answer is there if you want to help one of them? ALSO READ: LETTER: This donation warms our hearts ALSO READ: LETTER: Wow, Boksburg has turned a corner!

Police seize drugs, undocumented individuals, and suspects during Norwood Operation Shanela crackdown
Authorities have released the final results of the joint law enforcement effort that took place in Norwood on June 19 under Operation Shanela, confirming a series of arrests and confiscations during what has been described as a highly successful crackdown on crime. Read more: Rosebank Police Station and the JMPD take Parkwood street racing allegations seriously In addition to the 19 undocumented individuals taken into custody, police arrested two suspects for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Another suspect was apprehended for drug possession, while 15 zip-lock packets containing suspected narcotics were discovered abandoned in a park near Waverley, not far from Corlett Drive in Melrose. Further into the operation, officers arrested a suspect found in possession of a toy firearm, a black-handled knife, and a credit card believed to have been stolen during a robbery. In a separate incident, one person was arrested after being found with a stolen identity document. SAPS also confirmed that drugs were confiscated near the M1 on-ramp at Glenhove in Houghton. A second-hand goods business was immediately closed for non-compliance with regulations, and 10 traffic fines were issued for various offences committed during the operation. In total, police searched 417 individuals and nine premises across the Norwood area. The large-scale operation involved collaboration between 21 police stations from Johannesburg's East, North, and Central areas, as well as the SAPS K9 unit, JMPD, Gauteng Traffic Wardens, Norwood CPF, Home Affairs, and private security companies. Brigadier Vusimuzi Michael Ngubane served as the overall operational commander, with Brigadier Mitchell Jones leading ground efforts. Warrant Officer Eric Mastosha praised the role of the community, saying that many of the arrests and discoveries were made possible thanks to residents' tip-offs. 'It shows we are in a strong partnership with our community in the fight against crime,' he said. The operation was well-received by the public, with many residents expressing appreciation for the increased visibility of law enforcement in the area. According to Mastosha, the targeted hotspots were all attended to, and while no illegal firearms were recovered, the operation addressed several key concerns raised by the community. Authorities have since confirmed that the Norwood leg of Operation Shanela was a great success.

Randpark resident urges the community to look out for scammers
Randpark Ridge resident Mduduzi Nkosi is warning fellow residents to stay vigilant following a troubling encounter with a scammer impersonating a City of Joburg official. Read more: City Power launches imbizo programme Nkosi explained that a man claiming to be a contractor arrived at his property, stating he was conducting an audit of electricity meters in the area. The individual alleged that Nkosi's meter had been tampered with and threatened to disconnect his electricity supply. However, the so-called contractor was driving an unmarked vehicle and failed to present any identification or documentation from the City of Joburg. 'I argued that my meter is not prepaid and that I have never tampered with it. I asked what evidence he had that I breached the meter. He failed to answer my questions. I have never elected to do the readings myself, but I rely on the statements received from the city monthly. I have never received phone calls that the City had issues with my meter,' Nkosi said. Concerned, Nkosi contacted the city directly. After some engagement, officials confirmed that it was indeed a scam—one that appears to be on the rise. 'Following the talk with the city official, an internal person was sent with the correct documentation and vehicle to check the meter. He confirmed that the scammer had tampered with it to create the impression that we breached it, likely to demand a ransom,' he said. The meter was subsequently repaired, and a new bill from the city confirmed that all records were accurate. Nkosi now wants to alert other residents. 'I can confidently confirm that it was a scam and something other residents should know about, as this is becoming a pandemic of lawlessness by criminal syndicates.' City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena confirmed that they are aware of these incidents, stating that criminals are using counterfeit credentials to pose as City Power employees or contractors to gain access to homes and businesses. Mangena urges customers to remain cautious and verify the identities of anyone claiming to represent City Power. 'Our employees and contractors are required to always carry their official City Power ID cards while on duty. These ID cards are colour-coded according to different sections within the entity and display important identifying information.' Residents and business owners are encouraged to check the credentials of City Power personnel by calling the number provided on the back of the ID card. Official City Power ID cards include: A photograph and personal details of the employee or contractor A verification (badge) number and expiry date A firefly hologram for added security Contact details on the back for verification Additionally, authorised Token Identifier (TID) agents can be identified by their yellow-branded bibs or T-shirts and valid ID cards that display their photo, name, surname, and expiry date.
