An abusive and vengeful man burnt down his girlfriend's family home after her worried mother had asked her to flee.
He had said he was going to hurt her in the worst possible way.
That is when Christina Motha, 59, told her daughter, Monica Motha, 40, who was living with her in her house in Block CC in Soshanguve, Tshwane, not to come back home.
When the boyfriend went to the house after a funeral he found that Monica and her three-year-old son, who is also his son, were not at home.
Instead he found kids playing soccer in the street and asked them if they had seen Monica and their son. They said no and he drove off.
Then he allegedly came back, poured petrol all over the building and set it alight.
He told the kids in the street he had burned down the house. The neighbours called the firefighters, but they could not save the house.
Christina said she could not believe that the man did this to her family. "I don't even know what they were fighting about," she said.
"It is not my daughter's house. Now I do not even have other clothes to change into!"
The police were also called to the scene and they registered a case of arson. The lover has disappeared and the cops are still looking for him.
It appears, fled from the house because she was scared of her lover.
