DJ Sbu’s dream house woes
Radio personality and entrepreneur Sibusiso “DJ Sbu” Leope opened the doors of his dreamy house for the very first time to the SABC3 Top Billing crew in 2014. But it turns out the star was just renting the property. Sunday World newspaper reported that the “R8-million golf estate house [Eagles Canyon Golf Estate in Honeydew], which he gloatingly flaunted as his own on the SABC3 flagship programme Top Billing last year, is in fact not his property”.
The property allegedly belongs to Roz Everitt, the co-owner of international property group Chas Everitt and is reportedly on sale. A “source close to the couple” told Sunday World that Leope “publicly announced that the house was his after he and his fiancée, Disebo Makatsa, signed a deal with Chas Everitt to rent the house with an option to buy it”.
Leope has recently been making headlines for all the wrong reasons; like getting dumped by his fiancé and being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
