During an interview with the affected family claims that an uncontrollable large amount of water penetrated underneath the doors and damage their furniture's like sofas, beds and a computer." we tried all the means to stop them but failed and it was because the foundation structure was very low" said the disgruntled owner Jack Mahlakwana. They claims this issue happens for a second time as that in 2008 the same problem was occurred, says during 2008 they engage with Anglo about that matter, so the company provided them with accommodation for a week until their place get dried and promise to refund for any losses discovered, but that was a blatant lies. We feel so intimidated about their lies and think if they don't want rebuild our house as promised, it is better to move us back to our ancestral land" said a stressed family member.
