Media personality and rapper Boity Thulo is facing the real possibility of losing her multi‑million‑rand home in Centurion, Gauteng, after being taken to the Johannesburg High Court over an unpaid balance on the property.
Daily Sun can exclusively reveal that Leemark Financial Services is suing Boity, claiming she failed to fully service a loan linked to the purchase of her R4,2 million house in Centurion, Tshwane. The case could end with her home being attached and sold if she does not settle what is allegedly still owed.
This legal drama comes shortly after Boity shared pictures of a lavish Dubai getaway on social media, showcasing a glamorous lifestyle that stands in sharp contrast to the court papers now filed against her.
How the property deal was structured
In court documents seen by Daily Sun, Leemark’s Mark Lauth explains that Boity bought the house on 5 August 2021, after signing an agreement of sale in Roodepoort. The property was later registered in her name on 30 March 2022.
According to Lauth, Boity paid the bulk of the purchase price but allegedly failed to pay off the final portion.
"The defendant paid an amount of R3 708 187,00 in part settlement of the purchase price leaving a balance of R491 813,00 which amount remains unpaid and outstanding,” he said.
Leemark says the outstanding R491 813 remains due despite several attempts to get Boity to settle.
Letters ignored and call for judgment
Lauth states in the papers that his lawyers wrote several letters to Boity, who is also a model and reality TV star, asking her to pay the balance. He claims she ignored all correspondence.
The company is now asking the High Court for a money judgment that could open the door to enforcement action.
"Wherefore the plaintiff prays for judgment against the defendant for payment of the amount of R491 813,00," read the court papers.
If the court grants the judgment and Boity still does not pay, Leemark could obtain an execution order. This would allow the sheriff to attach and auction her Centurion property to recover the money owed, along with interest and legal costs.
Legal warning and default judgment threat
Lauth also sets out what Boity must do if she wants to fight the case. He says that, should she wish to dispute the claim, she must file a notice of intention to defend with the registrar of the court within 10 days of receiving the papers.
He warns that if she fails to file the required documents within the time limits set by the High Court rules, the lender can ask for a default judgment to be granted against her without further notice.
Lauth confirmed that he has already instructed his lawyers to apply for default judgment against Boity. He says she has not contacted him to discuss an out‑of‑court settlement.
He further claimed that there is more to the dispute than just the original R4,2 million bond matter, but he declined to give details at this stage.
Boity’s reaction: ‘You just ruined my day’
When Daily Sun contacted Boity for comment, she said she was taken aback by the legal move against her and the attempt to secure a default judgment without her side being heard in full.
"They want to sell my house. You just ruined my day," she claimed.
Her response suggests she was either not aware of the latest steps taken in court or did not expect the matter to escalate to this level.
For now, the case remains before the Johannesburg High Court, where the next steps will depend largely on whether Boity files a notice to defend, engages with Leemark’s lawyers, or seeks to settle the R491 813 that the company says is still outstanding.
If she does not act within the legal timelines, the lender’s push for default judgment could move her closer to losing the Centurion property that has now become the focus of this high‑stakes financial dispute.
