WATCH: Man terrorised by ‘racist dog’ in Durban AirBnB
A young businessman/entrepreneur has had the fright of his life this week, after he was stalked by a ‘racist dog’ at his AirBnB. Wandile Mthiyane had booked a month at the accommodation in Durban, only to realise that he’d be sharing the property with a Pitbull-mix.
The owner of the property, identified only as a ‘white South African lady’, allegedly told her guest that he would have to ‘share the garden’ with the prejudiced pup. She even suggested creating a schedule where Mthiyane and the racist dog would co-ordinate their outside times.
The whole exercise has been beyond humiliating for the young go-getter, who expressed concerns about his safety while in the AirBnB.
