Race your property to foreigners it will end in sign agreement with a couple, he rent out your property to 30 of his countrymen.When the contract ends find your house being a squalor.
It is her property which she owns and she has surely got a right to decide who she wants as tenants. Why don’t this couple buy a property rather than play race games. Nobody wins this way !!
Every one (Black n White) will just ignore the part where any of this was RACIST! And go for the part where they are Foreigners 🙄🚮 Sometimes there's no Grey's. No wonder how Apartheid lasted so Long in this Country. 🤞
very sad
Would you want this to happen to your buildings? Viva black power, viva!
This people are land owners in Zimbabwe plus the is no war in their country so let them go home don't say they have nowhere to go🙄
They must go back to Zimbabwe.. That’s where their home is!
Black tenants in black continent, thanks to cANCer under their misleadership some racist were emboldened to do as they pleased.
Good for her. Her private asset, she can rent to whomever she feels comfortable with. Suburbs have been destroyed & flats standing empty after evictions due to non payment mainly by black power. Would you take a chance!
Its Good they must go stay in a plastic
'nowhere to live' Wow then Western Cape must be very small hey...
Then
Straight and two beers, she's not making it a secret. DARKIE ONE SIDE!!😏 Thanks Our_DA
Nowhere to live? Why, was it the only property they applied for? I helped someone before to get a property, applied to 15 plus agents after viewing all, all turned down except for one in the end, didn't see us running to the press over it.
Her property...her choice...check if they here legally!!!
Interesting how subdued the response from the race baiters are. It would have been so different if it had been local people.
That's CPT life don't get supprise....
Her property, her decision.
Her property, her choice.
Really.
Nowhere to live, at all, seriously?
THIS IS COMMON IN CAPE TOWN ON Airbnb RACIST RACIST RACIST ALL OVER CAPE TOWN WHEN IT COMES TO OCCUPYING AN APARTMENT AS SOON AS THEY SEE THAT YOU ARE BACK THEY WILL CANCEL YOUR BOOKINGS
This is just sensationalist garbage! So there is only 1 apartment for rent in the entire Somerset West? No where else to live except that 1 place ? 🙄🙄🙄
Too bad but please do say they have nowhere to live there's plenty of places here in SA
Race your property to foreigners it will end in rent it to a couple.The couple rent out your property to 20 of his countrymen.When the period ends you find your property being a squalor.
All the reason why they should go back home.
I intended to rent Buckingham Palace. They said it is not to let. Now I have nowhere to live.
Owner probably has preconceived ideas re black colour doesn't determine the reliability of a tenant.Few tenants show respect for a rented property
Lol this didn't get the uproar that you have intended hey?
SEKHUKHUNE745 I think nowhere to live is a bit of an exaggeration
Lets Braai!
hay niyayibaxa, bangakhangeli enye indawo nje
Can't they go back to Zimbabwe .SAcans are tired of Zimbabwean Immigrants.
How do we fit in bcos this's her property
'...nowhere to live'? Really? Are they at some shelter as we speak or are they homeless?
Her property her rules
Maybe she knows that they are here illegally and she would sign a lease for one family only to find her house was a home to 30 foreigners.Racism aside.When the lease ends Martha will find her house being a squalor.
I don't see any problem with his decision
It's OK. It's their properties and as blacks we must learn not to beg or even force to associate with these people. Let's invest in properties and accommodate everyone, this race its simply evil. Anyone we would be far by now if it wasn't for corruption & looting!
On African soil under black leadership
Taking care of my debts and giving my daughter the best financially is what I’ve long waited for, thank you for helping me gain financial freedom markdonaldlisaT
Sue ..!!
Can someone tell me. What consequences does a racist person face in South Africa? What does the law of South Africa say about racism? If someone will.
We wasn't gonna come anyway. Karma is when one of his children falls in love with a black person.
Never heard of a Nigerian in the cape being discriminated against by a white person, what they don't want is a pack of Zulus who don't contribute to the economy shouting this is my Kantri. Y'all should bath and dress properly and stop behaving like monkeys.
Can we as black people stop obsessing over white people 🙄. I used to get angry over news like these, not anymore.
Vele Nathi we don't want to stay there... Hawu why must black Ppl always beg... Nathi asifuni... We move.
Where was the outrage with the KFC job advert? ThuliMadonsela3 & co were very quiet 🙄
More black South African must move to Western Cape and Orania the sooner the better
Very nice of them to wake black people from the rainbow nation nonsense
Cape Town black owners say no to black foreigners kubi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like guys it's his house 🙄
That's the land owners right. BEE is legal.
racism in the western cape is to much
I’d do the same 😏 Big ups finally 🙌🏾
Plenty of african foreigners there and believe u me am a black south african but would rather have my apartment empty than rent it to this Nigerians and Congolese
His property his rule.
Mxm
If i was white i would do the same,most black tenants live like pigs and we always vandalism property.😒😑
Nathi why are we always trying to stay in places where we're clearly not wanted. Let's support our own.

These apartheid remnants should be procecuted and jailed as a displinary measure.. they are an eye sore!
Ayonyani 👀👀
Probably doesn't want her property to look like a combination Hillbrow Yeoville Pretoria CBD slum!
MbuyiseniNdlozi Intruders in africa not wanting Africans... bizarre
It's starting again
I know white people that I will also say no to renting my place🤐
Can’t say much. It’s his home 🤷🏽♂️
Living in their fool's paradise... let's hope it wont burn down some day... we Africans were never angry enough... revolution...
They said 'tenants'. We don't even tolerate ourselves among us as tenant, why should we expect them to tolerate us? Majority of us has problem with hygiene, maintenance and neatness. We need to somehow try and understand them.
It is really time for this cancer to leave South Africa, we need peace. Cape Town is not your safe haven. If you have Africa, and Africans, please leave. Even we who are non-violent will become violent. Trust.
DA bringing us back to the apartheid era
Why can't we all just love and accepted each other for who we are. It doesn't matter how much one hates the race, that race will never just vanish. U can't isolate urself from other humanbeings cause they're like the red apples and not the green one....
This is the daily news and so it has been forever thus. What's new? Then build glorified apartheid double and triple storey flats and call it townhouses at exorbitant rentals all owned by whom?
MbuyiseniNdlozi It's no longer a rainbow nation that they sold to Mandela .It's now a zebra nation.We need radical black leaders
MbuyiseniNdlozi Smells like DA
Aredzi yena... O tlhelefele akere
danielmarven Their homes, their rules.
its no go zone for black little by little makes a bundle next tym will be going there with passport watch the space
Daai Home Owner se poes!
Why not just pack your bags and leave Africa 🤷🏽♀️
There’s always to sides to a story
We must visit them
Can I see the face?
Generally a person wouldn’t look after an asset as well as you would. Why? It’s not theirs. That’s why I would rather sell my place than rent it.
Burn The House Down is a nice song by AJR. I know what you're thinking now.
le Njakazi icinga ukuba kuphi apha?
Is this still a thing ?
The problem is you forgave their gross evil they did to blacks now you're shocked they're doing this...
Can mayor Plato tell us what part of 'the agenda' this is ...?
Wow City Press, are you running out of content
Da racist province
This is funny to me, wait for the new system 😂😂😂
So CyrilRamaphosa MbalulaFikile Julius_S_Malema _AfricanSoil why we don't deal with these once and for all and try to build our economy than to force ourselves to be part of us, they hate us they'll never stop because CyrilRamaphosa to love them and care for them
There's many homes to rent from in Cape town let's move on
Fighters ATTAAAAK!
DA government
So?
Cape Town is the head office of racism
So It's his place guys we can't keep forcing people to love us if a person is racist his racists let him be, why must we force each other to act as if siyathandana
MandlaRadebe17 So one has to subscribe in order to read an article? Hebanna.
He/She should leave our continent then
Racists have been emboldened. Thumamina
Do you blame them, the arrogance is surfacing under Cyril Ramaphosa presidency. In those 9 wasted year they where meek.
I wouldn't wanna have a white landlord vele so i am not phased
Julius_S_Malema come see this my leader😥🤔
What else is new?
Right of admission reserved. As a black person, I don't want to be in spaces I am not wanted.
Maga. Making afrikaners great again. And they are coming back in hordes from overseas..
dk_dax Atleast he or she is not pretending
Can black people be racist?
For me it's the constant need for us to be in their spaces instead of building our own spaces. BUSY buying 16 expensive bottles at KONKA over weekends 🙃. Don't come with that 'it's their money ' nonsense . If it's not that, it's government officials chowing money.
Set that house alight🔥⚠️
Another black outrage bs
This is has been the case for a while in the Cape. There are Nigerians that own flats in the suburbs and only allow strictly non-south africans.
South Africans must normalize saying no to these Kwerekweres, you let them in they hijack your property. Big ups to the home owner.
It's his chair mos... Is he forced to sit with Blacks? I don't understand the obsession to be liked or valued by whites
Not surprised once tired to book a bnb at Sea Point one white owned establishment told mad and my friends they do have space but not for you people.That's CT for you stayed in that Province for ten years and these is what that Province is about
And if a white person applies for a job which is advertised for non-whites only? Will you also cry racism? 🤔
We don't love them either
Blacks have more buying power, mara re šetše Makgowa ka morago!
It’s their home, their choice. Black ppl can ruin ones property. Look at hillbrow now and hillbrow when blacks Wer not allowed in.
Tat cape owner isn't one of us
Black tenants or illegal foreigners. DA will be loosing big time.
In a democratic South Africa.
Come on ... not all black people allow white tenants, not all white people allow black tenants. Get over the fucking race card and start focusing on news that's actually worth reading. I rented from black people and they were the best landlords I ever had.
Even Hotels and guest houses in Cape Town are like that. If you not speaking Afrikaans on the phone when doing bookings they will say it’s full. I called and was told it’s full then asked my white friend to call and he got space.
Well it's his property
And coloured tenants too. I had to get my white friend to call an agent after they told me the place was no longer available even though they were still advertising it on gumtree. When my white friend called, the place was suddenly available for a viewing.
The only swart in her book is Martha.
There are miscreant tenants across all race groups. If rental agencies would set up a central vetting network whereby historically bad tenants are registered it would help a lot. There are ways to manage this and still respect those who are good tenants.
black people open your eyes ngwana ko gae bula matlo
It is what it is..& it is their property..if you are angered by it then build your own & rent it out to Black people.. 🤷🏾♂️..
Apartheid will never end
The only thing they done wrongly,is to write it, somewhere in Soweto a landlord said Tsonga not allowed to be his tenants
Our_DA
Yhoo the liver.... Black people not wanted in Africa...?
Racism 101....some people will never change
Why are such people still allowed in RSA? People with such mentality must just leave us in peace. As Africans we tired now.
In South Africa? So much for democracy
A.N.C call themselves a Liberation movement yet settlers do as they pleases
No real surprise
It is so sad to have people like this in our society. People like this must hang their heads in shame.
If they can do it with Vaccines why not do it with race. 'we have the best constitution'.
I don't like Ramaposa but I understand people who blame him for things he did not directly influence, especially for those that have been happening long before his time. Let's hate people for the right reasons. Can someone show me a direct link btwn Ramaposa's and this story.
Cape Town is a country within a Country.
dk_dax I wouldn’t evolve a word form these city press people.another non fact checking lying tabloid. It news source but tabloid.time people start to learn the difference hey.
Government says no to white business, so private citizens are repaying the favour
Those are plenty
It's like a black person saying they don't want foreigners in their properties cause they're distructive. Let's not be hypocrites
I wouldn't want to stay there too, I'm very allergic to racists.
So...? Dats like Durban and how Indians say no to Black Tenants...

azania1023 Where is Mashaba with his Action DA? We may not appreciate Julius_S_Malema now because he's with us, but the next generation will celebrate him for this unapologetic immigrants for 1658 who still seeing black as subhuman
There is nothing wrong with that... That's his preference as much as I also wouldn't want non-black tenants
Rainbow Nation
Racism in cape Town is ALLOWED
This headline is very dangerous and I'll live it at that 🤷🏿♂️
