Estate agency watchdog to investigate racism allegations against Cape Town company

A Cape Town estate agency is being investigated after an employee turned down a lease applicant because he was black.The Estate Agency Affairs Board said it would launch an investigation into a complaint involving a Cape Town estate agency that allegedly allowed the landlord of a Cape Town CBD apartment to decline a rental applicant based on his race.

In the WhatsApp conversation, of which a screengrab was seen by TimesLIVE, Osei asked Johnson what she meant by the term “race specific”. Another follow-up message read: “As a company how can you guys knowingly do business with racist people? I’m horrified.” On Monday, the EAAB said: “The EAAB can confirm that Mr Osei has registered a complaint via the EAAB online service on October 21 2021 at 6.58pm and received an automated response acknowledging his complaint. An investigator from the EAAB head office in Johannesburg will be dispatched to Cape Town to co-ordinate the investigation.”

I am not surprised... 🙄
