Two former EFF allies in spat over granny’s home

Once political allies while members of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Themba Wele and Andile Matshaya are at each other’s throats over a house for a granny.

Matshaya claims that Wele lied when he said he built a house for a 95-year-old Boxwood granny.

Wele presented the house to Yoliswa Jawuka last week, saying he had used his savings and had asked businesses to help him build the house for the elderly woman.

However, Matshaya, who called the Daily Dispatch after reading the report last week, claimed Wele had not built the house for Jawuka.

He alleged the house was in fact a display unit built by Rencor for the Orange Grove Development Project, which he said had been roped in by government to build houses in the area. “This man is a liar, he has nothing to do with that house. It was built because we as a community wanted to see what the planned houses would be like,” he said.
