Gauteng homeowner secures appeal against R3.5 million property sale over unpaid levies.
A Gauteng homeowner has been granted leave to appeal a High Court order declaring her Tshwane property specially executable after the court found there were reasonable prospects that another court could reach a different conclusion on whether the foreclosure was constitutionally proportionate.
The ruling comes after the same court in May, ordered the luxury home in the exclusive Lombardy Estate in Pretoria to be sold at public auction after its owners owed over R681,000 in unpaid levies.
At the time, Judge Leicester Rock Adams ruled in favour of Lombardy Home Owners Association (HOA) in a legal battle against homeowners Lillian Mokgalakane Makgolela and her husband, Kingsley Makgolela.
The judge declared their 796-square-metre property executable and set a reserve price of R3.5 million for its sale in execution.
