DIMAKATSO Tjege says it's a miracle she's still alive.
He banna, what happened sistaz?
She claimed when she met her boyfriend four years ago, he owned nothing and was deep in debt.
Dimakatso (43), a businesswoman, said the boyfriend allegedly started demanding her things and forced her to record a voice note, stating that the assets she owned were accumulated with him and he had a share in them. The voice note was to be sent to the people the boyfriend owed money, but Dimakatso refused.

She said her boyfriend allegedly devised means to kill her so he could have easy access to her things.
In August 2024, Dimakatso said her boyfriend allegedly came with petrol and explosives.
He allegedly broke a window to her house in Barcelona, Etwatwa, poured the petrol, and threw the explosive in, and it went 'KABOOM' with Dimakatso inside.
Abomakhi come to Dimakatso's rescue
It was the neighbours' quick response and what Dimakatso says is God's unwavering power that saved her from the raging fire.
"I thank God. I could be dead by now. I've learned the hard way. I'm not going to allow a broke somebody to get into my life because they're nothing but trouble," she said.
Dimakatso sustained serious burn wounds to her face and hands.
"I wasn't greedy. After he came into my life, I also introduced him to how I make money so he could build his own life, but he became too greedy and wanted everything I accumulated without him," Dimakatso claimed.
Boyfriend faces the music for alleged crime
The boyfriend was arrested last Thursday, 29 August, after he was on the run for weeks. He appeared in court on 3 September, and the case was postponed to 10 September for a bail application.
Dimakatso claimed the man tried on three other occasions to kill her, but God refused.
"I sell goods and also subcontract in tenders. Over the years, I bought a house, a stand, and cars. He found me with my things, and now he wants them all. He owes people, including the Basotho gang. I suspect it's for protection fees because once he gets into trouble, there are people who are always here to protect him," she claimed.
Community leader speaks
Community leader, Laly Sikhosana said they were touched by what happened to Dimakatso.
"We're going to make sure the boyfriend doesn't get bail because he's determined to lay hands on Dimakatso's assets," said Laly.
