THE state will decide this week whether it will prosecute music legend, Ray Phiri, after he broke into his rented farmhouse in Mpumalanga when his landlord tried to evict him for being three months late with his rent. Senior public prosecutor Marius van Heerden says police are still investigating charges of housebreaking, theft and trespassing against Phiri, but that he will get the docket this week. The sheriff of the court sealed the house on Moselely farm near Barberton on March 26 when arrears reportedly stood at R11400, and locked out Phiri’s teenaged children, aged 17 and 15. After asking police for help, which they could not give him, Phiri broke into the house and was arrested, then released until his landlord pressed charges against him. Phiri says he paid his outstanding rent on March 19, a week before the eviction order was given. It appears the landlord failed to notice the rent deposit.
