Its where many lives were taken
Its where families lost their loved ones
Its where youngsters were introduced to drugs
Its where women, girls and children were raped

402 Malitela Street

The abandoned house that was burnt to ashes.
The house where Ousi Ntswaki and her child Omphile lost their lives
The house that was the devil’s home.
The house that is cursed.

402 Malitela Street

It was never a home in the first place
It was a hellhole not a loving home
It was just a house not a shelter
It was a house that condoned GBV
It was never a home

402 Malitela Street

Where they now sell drugs
Where they now rape women
Where they now turn boys into junkies
Where they kill and torture people

402 Malitela Street
