Residents clash over controversial Pretoria West home | Pretoria News

Pretoria - Pretoria West police were on Thursday called in after two groups clashed regarding a controversial house in the area. One group claimed the house was a drug den, while the other described it as a drop-in transition home for addicts.

The people allegedly misused the house, and it had dirty mattresses, needles, drug-use tablespoons and condoms. They said the pastor left addicts by themselves, but claimed on social media that those who removed them worked for foreigners who hijacked houses.However, the pastor - whose name has been withheld - said people did not understand that the house was not a rehabilitation centre, but a transition house for drug addicts. Once there, they interacted with people who understood drug addiction, she said.

“These people have refused us access to the house and we don't even know what is in there anymore. We know that they took the condoms there to frame and discredit us,” said the pastor.They said the pastor stopped paying rent and electricity arrears had shot to R20000, while the addicts stole and sold wires.
