Where is her Picture Guys?

Dafuq man 🙈 these estate agents need to get their act together, bet she’s not the only one.

Doesn't sound like the agent did a racist act though. She was just honest, sort of like a headsup

Im waiting....

They should have fired her.

Now she needs to be reported to the Human Rights Commission and must be charged criminally.

At times estate agents are carrying out their clients’ wishes. At least this one was being honest.

If really the Estate's been fined that amount of money its a good thing. We should build a good South Africa for all races. Mara makhowa tshwanetse ba zaiye.
