The advertisement on a local property listing site, Private Property, seems quite innocent until you look at the text below the ad, which after describing the property for rent as a “3 bedroom townhouse, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, 2 garages, no stairs” makes an important note of saying “NB - ONLY whites please”.
In a call to Dick & Sue Home Finders, the estate agents who listed the property, Joleen Stapelberg who works for the company told W24 that she doesn’t know who loaded the listing and that their company does not support such racist remarks. She also says she hopes to get the ad removed soon.
Private Property's Barrie Davies told W24, who also became aware of the issue through social media, that even though their site is a third party ad sharing site and they have no control over what their customers post, they have dealt with the issue by removing the estate agents from the site and issuing them a warning for their behaviour.
