Gospel star Babo Ngcobo prayed and asked God to bless him with a house.

And his prayers were answered. But the blessing might soon turn into a curse.

“He has no other option. His house is near the dam and that is dangerous,” said another source.

Babo said no one had spoken to him. “I bought the land and all the necessary processes were followed before I built my house. If my house is demolished, I will give a comment,” he said.

When he was asked whether his house was close to the dam and could endanger him, he said: “I don’t know that.”
