THE gogo believes she is just exercising her rights and enjoying her freedom.
But her neighbours believe freedom doesn’t have anything to do with hanging panties on the burglar bars.
Neighbours said they were very unhappy that gogo Nelly Maseko (78) hung her underwear to dry where everyone could see it.
Nonky Maloma (40) from Alexandra, north of Joburg, told Daily Sun: “Whenever I go out I’m forced to look at my neighbour’s tattered underwear! Her door is right next to mine.”
Nonky said she and other neighbours had tried to talk to gogo Nelly.
“She tells us to stop complaining,” said Nonky.
Nonky also complained that Nelly threw dirty bath water on the doorstep.
“It smells. It is difficult to eat with the doors open because of the stench,” she said.
She said they have brought in social workers, the CPF, the local councillor and even the police but nothing has helped.
“I don’t want to fight with her but this can’t carry on,” she said.
The gogo told Daily Sun other people enjoyed their freedom in their own way.
“They walk around naked in their houses. Why do I have to answer to someone else?
“This is my house. I have the right to do what makes me happy.”
She said she only took orders from her mum, who has been dead for a long time.
She said all she was doing was enjoying the freedom of having her own property, which was something many people never got to do.
Violet Ntuli said her kids also didn’t like looking at the gogo’s underwear.
“If she would stop hanging her underwear on the door I wouldn’t have a problem with her,” she said.
