A historical home in Tennessee’s Williamson County is at risk of demolition after alleged misuse of HOA funds by a property management company that is now under investigation.
The home was built in 1899 by the great-grandfather of Brentwood, TN, resident Jenny Calvin. She spent her childhood celebrating milestones and holidays within the home, she told Nashville’s CBS affiliate WTVF.
After Calvin’s grandfather died and the family could no longer afford to maintain the property, the home was entrusted to the Williams Grove subdivision, which was built up around it.
What was supposed to be a grand clubhouse for the neighborhood, and a reminder of Tennessee’s rich history, is now an eyesore—as the money intended for its maintenance is missing.

THE ISUZU MOTORS PAYROLL FRAUD (GQEBERHA, SA)
Date: February 16, 2026 Perpetrator: Natasja Slabbert (42)
Case Description: In a case that hit home for the Eastern Cape business community, Natasja Slabbert, a payroll administrator at Isuzu Motors South Africa’s Struandale plant, was arrested for an alleged R10.5 million fraud. The scheme, which began surfacing in late 2024, exploited the very systems designed to manage employee compensation. Slabbert allegedly manipulated payroll records to create false entries that appeared as legitimate deductions and contributions on employee payslips. In reality, these “deductions” were being diverted into her personal bank account.
The fraud was only uncovered after diligent employees noticed that their net “take-home” pay was significantly lower than expected, despite the gross amounts on their payslips remaining high. Following a thorough probe by the Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team and the NPA’s Specialised Commercial Crime Unit, it was discovered that in August 2024 alone, over R626,000 was unlawfully transferred. Slabbert was granted bail of R5,000 on February 17, 2026, and the case has been postponed to later in the month for further legal proceedings. This case highlights the critical need for “segregation of duties” in payroll departments, as a single point of failure allowed for the systematic siphoning of millions over nearly two years.
