Mawajez News

In January 2020, Kwajo Tweneboa watched his father fall ill with terminal cancer. But rather than dying in peaceful surroundings, their South London housing association home was full of cockroaches, mice and mould. When Kwajo’s pleas for help were ignored, he decided to document his living conditions and share them with the world online to shame his landlord into action. As he did, he realised that his situation was not unique – and others were also living in horrific conditions. Now, he continues to expose the UK's dodgiest landlords on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram. His videos, getting thousands of views, show the very worst of the British housing crisis - sewage running down walls, spider infestations, masses of black mould, and even children's bedrooms covered in cockroaches. With his inbox filled with desperate requests from tenants, his platform has become a vital tool in holding all landlords and housing associations to account.
