Redefined Property CEO Andrew Konig appeared before the commission with his legal counsel to give an update on what the company has done to rectify the matter.

Maponyane would think it is okay to kick out Mahlangu, Konig said the investigation is still continuing.

“No doubt he has his own reasons and views on life. I do believe there is a greater issue around culture and a lack of understanding of each other's cultures but I can’t speak to his reasoning,” he said.The commission asked if there is a standard dress code that may have made the manager believe customers must adhere to a specific code.

“As far as I am aware there is no standard dress code. This is the first time something like this has happened in our company…but I think the lesson here is complacency. In 1994 there was a lot done to make sure cultural differences are acknowledged but that was many years ago. We need to open our eyes and respect differences,” Konig said.“I am not happy they suspended him. I think he needs to be part of the courses that are taking place right now. I want to meet him and understand him.
