“The No-Go Zone”
The place was close to the local shops, but the owner, a white male, was extremely racist. He told me over the phone that the hotel was fully booked, yet a few units were available and I chose Unit 5. When we got there, he blocked the reception and started a racist rant, claiming the town was fully booked and asking if the ANC (Blacks) were in town. He also told me that there was no food in the rooms, especially no KFC or hot chips, which was insulting. He gave us a key that didn’t match the unit I had booked, and when I pointed it out he blamed it as an error. The accommodation was meant for two guests, but only one bath towel was provided, and no toilet paper was supplied, so we had to buy our own because I didn’t want to associate with him. The DStv picture channels were disabled and only the radio bouquet was available, and the coffee station wasn’t refilled. The next morning, when I raised all of this, he simply said it was all a mistake.
