It doesn't rain but pours for the CEO and founder of Drip, Lekau Freddy Sehoana. His assets are set to be auctioned off tomorrow, Thursday, at Midrand Sherrif Halfway House. The planned auction follows Lekau's failure to keep up with payments towards his ex wife's interim spousal and child maintenance. 

LEKAU FURNITURE AUCTION

Zimoja can reveal that the Sheriff attached Lekau's furniture at his mansion in Fourways, a day before his much publicised Drip fifth year celebration.

According to court papers seen by Zimoja, the following items were removed from his mansion: Two Samsung silver fridges, one Samsung washing machine and dryer, two Samsung TVs and remotes, a three piece grey garden set. As part of the same writ of execution by the sheriff, glamorous items such as SMEG kettle and blender, five seater lounge and headboard were attached.

Two pedestals, a nine piece green dining room lounge suite, four-piece white lounge suite and an Elber gas heater and cylinder were taken by the man of the law. The documents further show that they also unplugged Esther Mahlangu's artwork from his house, as well as one glass coffee table. 

PAPGELD AND SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE

The expensive furniture was removed to realise the North Gauteng High court draft order, in which Lekau was ordered to pay R165 000 spousal maintenance to his ex wife Lebogang Sehoana, formerly Machaba, and R35 000 for child maintenance, totalling to R200 000. 

The same order shows that the businessman was also ordered to pay R44 000 towards unpaid school fees for his child and a further R200 000 to cover for ex wife legal costs. According to his Lekau's ex wife, the Drip founder failed to comply with the court order and has not paid any cent since February until April. The sheriff's documents show that the luxurious furniture covers the R405 500 which Lekau collectively owes as per the court order. 

Zimoja reported two weeks ago that Lekau's ex wife and his son were evicted from a villa at the leafy suburb of Waterfall after Lekau failed to keep up with monthly rental for close to five months. The family was taken to court by the Waterfall Residents Development arguing that Lekau owed them close to R100 000 in unpaid rent.
