I know that bank don’t just sell these houses. They first call clients to make arrangements and repercussions are explained. But it’s difficult to also negotiate with a clients who’s not receiving an income yet trying to put food on table daily. It is stressful.

@MDNnewss The bank need to be called to order, this was done years ago and most black families lost their bond, bank must sit down with their client explaining in detail and hear their story before selling the house, The laws must change now, for whatever reason, this is unfair

Sadly some people would rather fight through the legal system and spend money on lawyers as opposed to making arrangement with the new owner and pay at least rental. Unfortunately shes not the owner but an illegal occupation.

But guys. If she stopped paying, for whatever reason. Whether willingly or because of affordability. However unfortunate that may be : her fighting the matter is not fair on the new owner, or the bank. The bank is a business. Imagine if everyone just stopped paying and continued staying in properties? The bank would collapse - everyone loses. This house (until paid off) is the bank’s house. Now they’ve sold it to a new owner, who can pay the bond. That new owner ALSO has rights. And is now paying a bond on a house still occupied by the previous owner? Yazi’ this thing of people occupying properties they don’t / can’t pay for then the whole world must stop and others must be inconvenienced, is not it. If South Africa wants to help - they should help her move to a new place.

What happened to that Kenyan taxi driver in Qatar is barbaric, unacceptable, and a painful reminder of what our people go through every single day in the Gulf. A man simply trying to earn a living was assaulted so violently that he nearly lost his life. This is not “misconduct,” this is attempted murder and it must be condemned without hesitation.
According to the dash-cam footage, the assault began after the Kenyan driver rejected an inappropriate advance from his passenger. Instead of accepting a clear “no,” the attacker grabbed him in a rear-neck chokehold that almost strangled him. The vehicle veered, nearly crashing, and that driver survived only by instinct and grace. No one should face death simply because they refused unwanted behavior.
Cases like this often disappear into silence. The systems in those countries have a long history of protecting their own whenever foreigners demand justice. And our own government? It has perfected the art of shifting blame, offering excuses, and pretending they are powerless. Kenyans abroad bleed, scream, and die and Nairobi drafts statements instead of solutions.
Our people in the Gulf are surviving conditions that no human being should ever be subjected to. Some are overworked. Some are abused. Some live like prisoners in employer homes. And when they rush to embassies for help, they find officials too busy enjoying diplomatic comfort to lift a finger. The suffering is real, but the offices meant to protect them are deserted when it matters.
Let’s not forget the shameful truth: our Head of State negotiated the weakest, most humiliating labor terms for Kenyans in the Gulf. He goes on and on in speeches about Singapore, Japan, Korea, Malaysia yet refuses to explain why a Kenyan doing the same job as a Malaysian or Filipino earns 35,000 while others earn 55,000–60,000. That gap is not an accident; it is a failure of leadership.
And that so-called Kazi Majūu project? It was nothing but smoke and slogans. Kenyans have died in Saudi Arabia from depression, abuse, negligence, sexual assault and the same ministry that promised protection cannot even bring bodies home with dignity. Families cry; the government shrugs.
What hurts even more is how victims are mocked instead of defended. When Kenyans raise complaints about mistreatment, the same officials responsible for their welfare call them “mannerless,” “problematic,” or “undisciplined.” So people suffer twice first abroad, then again when their own leaders insult them for begging for help.
And to those who think this is tribal banter whether the victim is Kalenjin, Kikuyu, Luo, Luhya, Somali, Meru understand this clearly: poverty, desperation, and exploitation do not check tribe before they strike. These are the jobs the president tells our youth to take, and when violence follows, no protection is offered. Only excuses. Only silence.
I condemn this attack. I condemn the wider injustice. Kenyans are not disposable. Our people do not deserve violent abuse abroad and indifference at home. Until our government defends its citizens with the same energy it uses to defend its image, this cycle of suffering will continue and every death, every assault, every broken family will sit squarely on the conscience of those in power who chose to look away.
