Disappointed with acts of discrimination

<p>Good day<br /> <br /> A recent getaway over the weekend planned with my family ,which was planned months in advance with much excitement and joy turned out to be by far the worst experience my family and I have endured.<br /> <br /> We booked into santorini pyrgos on the 03/03/17 at 14:30, unpacked and left to the pool available in the complex..we were there for about 3 hours when we went back to our unit and started out evening braai..all excitied and preping for my brother in laws 40th birthday. Supper was done..and we waited for  midnight ...at midnight we sang for him .cut he's cake and chatted abit and then went to bed . The Saturday started of with again much enthusiasm and my family was so excited to celebrate this birthday together. my sister in law was going to visit late afternoon for a birthday supper , having nothing much planned for the day we headed for a day at the pool. we played abit..laughed alot and the day was going pretty well.<br /> <br /> An elderly white couple kept on watching us  from their unit .we thought they were just being friendly. We greeted them and the gentleman seemed polite at the time and responded positively ..he came to the baby pool twice sat for 2 minutes each time  and then left..it was quite odd because we wondered why he didn't want to come in the big pool..never the less we continued with our day ,about an hour late the gentlemen and he's wife approached us at the pool to tell us we were a bit too loud and that we should have turns at the pool and enquired about who we booked the unit with . we apologised for being loud and immediately vacated the pool never to return there again.<br /> <br /> We went back to our unit..and preped for a late lunch , when a representive from ballito agencies came over to check on us..he was extremely polite I did explain to him there was an issue with the pool  and that we apologised for the inconvenience we caused the couple .he was understanding .I asked if he would like to come in but he declined. An hour later security came up and asked for our vehicles to be moved ..again with no hassle immediately our vehicles were moved and again we apologised for the inconvenience we  had caused.<br /> <br /> Finally supper  was ready and our intention for this trip to celebrate my brother in laws birthday was in play .we just finished our supper when again security was at our door. <br /> This time asking us to come down to the garage .when we went to the garage we saw this couple again standing in front of the garage demanding that we open the garage to take pictures of the car, demanding to see our registration for the vehicle. Being totally disrespectful . Both the lady and the man were  screaming at us on top of their voices. It felt like we were being victimised and these people were blatantly being prejudice, practising discrimination against my family and i .I have never experienced something so demeaning ,so embarrassing so demoralising,  so belittling I felt so exploited ..clearly theses people are not like us because we are so cultured, polite. There was no validation for their pathetic down s****ed behavior .. again my husband apologised only for this people to tell us they don't do apologies and ours could not be accepted.<br /> <br /> At that point all we wanted to do was just go back home ..our entire weekend was ruined.<br /> We went back to our unit and started to pack .<br /> We just didn't want to be there anymore. We left at 8:15 the next morning and this couple had the odascity to sarcastically tell us good bye on our departure. I'm appalled and  disappointed not by ballito agencies, Candice was expectional, she really was helpful and informative, but by the way we were treated by the fellow residents in that complex.i suggest in future that victims like us should be aware of the rules and regulations of the complex .I suggest times should be allocated to people renting out the unit to the pool in that way no one will be invading anyone's space. Its acts like these that allow our country and society to be looked down on..<br /> <br /> Extremely disappointed <br /> Marsha Govender<br /> </p>
