For nearly two years, Evangeline Harases (58) and her family believed they would finally become homeowners.
This dream was, however, shattered when Harases discovered she was swindled out of N$200 000 by a man who claimed to be a lawyer and handled the sale of the property.
Her eldest son, Elton Haraseb, says after they made the payment, they discovered another buyer had also bought the house.
Harases entered into a deed of sale for a house in Katutura Extension 8 for N$370 000 in 2024.
According to documents which The Namibian has seen, Harases paid a deposit of N$200 000 into Kamuvare Legal Services’ account on 19 July 2024.
The remaining N$170 000 was to be paid over three months.
Believing the deal was progressing, the family moved into the house.
