GOGO Lesego Dujwa lives in fear of her son’s ex-girlfriend.

The 56-year-old from Kagiso, in Mogale City, told Daily Sun her son, Mongezi (34), started seeing the woman in 2014 – and she knew she was trouble from the beginning.

“After she was kicked out of her parents’ house, she moved to a squatter camp which is near our house,” she said.

“I used to be scared Mongezi would get attacked when he visited her, so I suggested they move in with me.”

Lesego claimed it proved to be a huge mistake as the girlfriend, Nthabeleng Morapedi, soon started bringing men to her house, throwing big parties and insulting her and her son when she was drunk.

“I got fed up because she would even wash her other boyfriends’ clothes at my house. She always fought with us and she once even stabbed my son and me.

“She said she would kill us,” claimed Lesego.

Mongezi told the SunTeam he regretted the day he met his ex-girlfriend.

“She stabbed my mum when I told her I wanted to break up and she should move out.

“Making matters worse, the police laughed at me when I tried to open a case.”

Daily Sun contacted Nthabeleng, who claimed Lesego was making up stories.

“That woman is poison.

“She never liked me. She always wanted to break us up.

“She made up the stories about me bringing men to the house.

“As to the stabbing incident, she attacked me first and I was defending myself,” she claimed.

Gauteng police spokesman Lieutenant Kay Makhubela advised Mongezi to report the matter to his police station’s commander, who would help him.

Axed Soweto teacher harassed principal, teachers - MEC

Johannesburg - The axed teacher who stabbed a Soweto school principal multiple times had been harassing her and her staff for months, Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said on Tuesday.

He had been sending the Paul Mosaka Primary School principal text messages and showing up at the school after he was fired last year.

“The school gave me a chilling statement about the individual and that he has been harassing the principal for quite some time. Not only the principal but the entire school community,” Lesufi said.

This happened after parents complained that the man was not teaching their children appropriately. 

The district office then examined his qualifications and found they were fraudulent. He was given six months to provide original documents of his qualifications but refused.

“That’s when we instituted disciplinary processes and it was during that period that things turned nasty,” Lesufi said.

On Monday morning, the teacher arrived at the school in Pimville, Soweto, and allegedly waited for the principal. When she arrived, he allegedly threw stones at her car. 

“As she opened her car door, he pulled her out of her car and stabbed her several times. Some of the bystanders started shouting and screaming,” police spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubela said at the time.

Police caught him later and took him to the Kliptown police station. He was expected to appear in court soon on charges of attempted murder and malicious damage to property.

The woman was in a critical condition in hospital. 

It was understood that the man had been demanding that the principal sign forms which would allow him to return to work, but she kept referring him to the district office.

Opposed to bail

The department would help police ensure that the man’s bail application was not successful, Lesufi said.

“We need to protect him from himself, and protect him from society as well.

“I also don’t think it is advisable, for the sanity of these young ones, to know that this particular person is outside there,” Lesufi said.

He said pupils and staff needed support from the department, including counselling and tighter security.

“We are strengthening the security at the gate and we’ve taken over the running of the school until we are sure that the situation is stabilised.”

Lesufi said the fact that the man had managed to secure a job and work undetected for a period of time was embarrassing for the department.

“Those are the things that, to be quite frank, embarrass some of us. The reality is that, I am told, when you don’t have an eye to check for fraudulent documents, you will not be in the position to pick it up.”

He said this problem was slowly being dealt within Gauteng. Systems were already in place to pick up bogus teachers.

The SA Council of Education said in a statement earlier this month that it had detected more than 20 cases of people teaching with fraudulent qualifications.

It was working with universities, education departments and the South African Qualifications Authority to ensure that the qualifications of all teachers were authentic.

Gogo's PANTIES HAUNT US!

THE gogo believes she is just exercising her rights and enjoying her freedom.

But her neighbours believe freedom doesn’t have anything to do with hanging panties on the burglar bars.

Neighbours said they were very unhappy that gogo Nelly Maseko (78) hung her underwear to dry where everyone could see it.

Nonky Maloma (40) from Alexandra, north of Joburg, told Daily Sun: “Whenever I go out I’m forced to look at my neighbour’s tattered underwear! Her door is right next to mine.”

Nonky said she and other neighbours had tried to talk to gogo Nelly.

“She tells us to stop complaining,” said Nonky.

Nonky also complained that Nelly threw dirty bath water on the doorstep.

“It smells. It is difficult to eat with the doors open because of the stench,” she said.

She said they have brought in social workers, the CPF, the local councillor and even the police but nothing has helped.

“I don’t want to fight with her but this can’t carry on,” she said.

The gogo told Daily Sun other people enjoyed their freedom in their own way.

“They walk around naked in their houses. Why do I have to answer to someone else?

“This is my house. I have the right to do what makes me happy.”

She said she only took orders from her mum, who has been dead for a long time.

She said all she was doing was enjoying the freedom of having her own property, which was something many people never got to do.

Violet Ntuli said her kids also didn’t like looking at the gogo’s underwear.

“If she would stop hanging her underwear on the door I wouldn’t have a problem with her,” she said.
