One of the hotel’s chefs, Sipho, asked Thandi whether he could rent one of the small rooms in the hotel for a period of six months. Thandi agreed, and they concluded a lease agreement. Sipho also asked Thandi to borrow R5 000. They agreed that Sipho would pledge his cell phone as security for the loan. Thandi paid the R5 000 into Sipho’s bank account, but both parties agreed that it would not make sense for Sipho to hand the cell phone to Thandi. Thandi stated that she 6 trusted Sipho and believed that he would repay the money. A serious dispute later arose between Thandi and Sipho, and their relationship deteriorated.
