Johannesburg High Court has reportedly ordered Imbewu: The Seed actress Phindile Gwala-Ngandu to settle her electricity bill. Following last year December, when the actress was taken to court after failure to settle her R100 000 outstanding electricity bill.

 

 

Late last year, the City Press reported that a company by the name of Bramley Mews Body Corporate approached the Johannesburg High Court, with claims of Imbewu actress Phindile Gwala-Ngandu failing to settle an outstanding electricity bill of R100 000.

The case has been with the Johannesburg High Court since last year, December. However, the court has since ruled in favor of Bramley Mews Body Corporate, and subsequently has ordered Gwala-Ngandu to pay an amount of R100 000 for her electricity bill or else risk getting disconnected, indefinitely.

“The Johannesburg High Court has ordered actress Phindile Gwala-Ngandu to settle an electricity and utilities bill worth over R100 000 or have her apartment disconnected from using power.” wrote the City Press

The public also learned that in December, Bramley Mews Body Corporate manager Clive Ginsberg, revealed that Gwala-Ngandu abandoned her financial commitments, leading to failure to settle her bill. These outcomes compelled the corporate to escalate the matter to the Johannesburg High Court for Gwala-Ngandu’s cooperation.

“As it appears from the notice of motion, the applicant (Bramley Mews Corporate) seeks an order against the respondent (Phindile Gwala) for monetary payments regarding arrear levies and electricity charges, which are due to the applicant by the respondent. The applicant also seeks an order against the respondent for disconnection of the electricity supply to the section, pending full payment of arrear levies and electricity charges. This particular relief has necessitated the launching of this court application out of the above honourable court.” read the court documentation/ order
