Government official conned by furniture shop
A senior government officer based in the Shiselweni region is the hottest furniture shop victim to allege to have been paying a monthly installment for goods he bought from one of the shops for 10 years now.
The senior officer whose name and that of the furniture shop cannot be identified for now claimed that he bought a six-piece recline suit from a furniture dealer in Nhlangano way back in 1996. He said when he bought the goods, they were valued at over E5000 but he has started himself paying two times the initial amount.
“By the look of things, they have been cashing in on me. I realized that I was being milked when the furniture personnel called to find out when I was coming to pay,” said the senior officer.
