The challenges keep mounting for Drip CEO and founder Lekau Sehoana. In a dramatic turn of events, his assets are allegedly set to be auctioned off at the Midrand Sheriff’s Halfway House. According to Zimoja, this auction follows Sehoana’s failure to meet court-ordered payments for his ex-wife’s interim spousal and child maintenance.
Zimoja has revealed that just one day before the highly publicized fifth-anniversary celebration of his sneaker brand, Drip, the sheriff attached Sehoana’s furniture from his Fourways mansion. According to court documents, a range of valuable items was removed, including two Samsung silver fridges, a Samsung washing machine and dryer, two Samsung TVs with remotes, and a three-piece grey garden set. Even luxury items like a SMEG kettle and blender, a five-seater lounge, and a headboard were not spared. The sheriff also seized two pedestals, a nine-piece green dining room suite, a four-piece white lounge suite, and an Elber gas heater and cylinder. In a particularly poignant move, the man of the law even unplugged an Esther Mahlangu artwork from Sehoana’s wall, along with a glass coffee table.
The removal of these assets was carried out to fulfill a North Gauteng High Court order, which mandated Sehoana to pay R165,000 in spousal maintenance and R35,000 in child maintenance, amounting to R200,000 in total. Additionally, Sehoana was ordered to pay R44,000 in unpaid school fees for his child and another R200,000 for his ex-wife’s legal costs. However, Sehoana has allegedly not made any payments since February, resulting in the sheriff’s intervention to cover the R405,500 he owes.
Adding to his woes, it was reported two weeks ago by Zimoja that Sehoana’s ex-wife and son were evicted from their villa in the upscale suburb of Waterfall. This eviction allegedly followed to Sehoana’s failure to pay rent for nearly five months, leading to a legal battle with the Waterfall Residents Development, who claim he owes them almost R100,000 in unpaid rent.
