Robert owns a business property in his hometown of Nkandla, northern KZN, called Fort Louis also known as KwaMarawa. He inherited it from his late dad, Frank who was a well-known businessman in Nkandla and Durban.
Robert’s business property is rented out by other businesspeople who operate spaza shops, supermarkets and bottle stores.
Sources told Daily Sun that thugs keep breaking in, damaging the property and stealing, which led to Robert driving down from Joburg to open a criminal case at Nkandla Police Station.
Daily Sun contacted Robert for comment, but his phone was off.
KZN police spokesman Colonel Robert Netshiunda previously confirmed to Daily Sun that Robert had opened a case of malicious damage to property and theft.
