KEITH BROAD AND INGE BROAD'S VIOLENT HOME INVASION & THEIR MANY ILLEGAL EVICTIONS

There has never been a period since the transformation of the property was completed that was free from conflict involving Keith and Inge Broad. The attempts to reclaim the property began just two days after the refurbishment was finished and have continued unabated. 

 

The campaign against me started with illegal physical evictions carried out by Keith but escalated far beyond that. Keith and Inge made repeated attempts to unilaterally cancel the lease, treating it as if it were a casual, revocable arrangement—akin to cancelling a dinner reservation. Their expectation was that I would simply comply, hand over the keys, and vacate the premises without question. 

 

Harassment was relentless. They demanded increasing sums of money, often through fabricated charges. Extortion, threats, and intimidation became routine. Their conduct was marked by aggressive behaviour, abuse, and foul language, with the clear intent to pressure me into submission. 

 

Their financial manipulation was blatant. Keith and Inge demanded payment of bills earlier and earlier, reducing standard payment terms to a matter of hours. Typically, utility invoices issued by the agent carried strict seven-day payment terms, or, at the very least, standard deadlines of fourteen to twenty-eight days. However, Keith and Inge dismissed these terms entirely, treating invoices issued mere hours prior as "arrears" and using them as an excuse for further aggression and harassment. 

 

The most egregious aspect of their demands, however, was the fraudulent nature of the charges. In many instances, we were invoiced for utilities and other expenses before the billing period had even commenced or long before they were legally due. 

 

At the time, we were unaware of the full scale of their deception. It was only later that we discovered none of the money we had paid them for utilities—totalling over one million rand—had been forwarded to the municipality. The result was devastating in April 2022, our electricity was cut off. By that stage, we had already paid every invoice issued, yet none of those payments had reached the intended recipients. The screaming, threats, and pressure to pay earlier and earlier had been nothing more than a calculated ploy to extract and pocket the money.
