Phat Joe reportedly evicted from his luxury Sea Point flat

Phat Joe – real name Majota Kambule – and his family have been evicted from their luxury Sea Point R40 000 per month apartment.

According to reports, the outspoken TV and radio presenter allegedly owes more than half a million rands in unpaid rent.

EVICTED FROM SEA POINT FLAT

According to the Cape Argus, Phat Joe and his family have been ordered to leave their upmarket Sea Point apartment.

The Western Cape High Court allegedly handed the former Real Goboza presenter an order after he failed to pay his R40 000 per month rent, which had accumulated to R600 000 since 2022.

The ex-Radio 2000 host lived in the home with his wife, Palesa Morgan, his son, Brooklyn, and their daughter, Nairobi.

While things have been strained on the financial side, the couple are going strong in the love department.

In December, the couple celebrated a special occasion together.

She shared on Instagram: “Eight years together, five years married, two kids later raised/raising, time flies when you are having fun. Storms become your greatest strength/hits collection. Grateful to be doing life with you. Happy birthday and happy anniversary,” she wrote.

She continued: “You make some cute babies, and not to mention are one lucky guy with impeccable taste. Phat Joe, this post serves as a reminder of how blessed we have been. More is still to come, babe, much more.”

Apart from serving as a residential area, the area is populated with retail, restaurants, and service facilities.
