Blatant Racism
<p>On Saturday 27th August there was a Rugby festival in Humansdorp with schools from East London going through to play. We did in fact have accomodation in PE as our son was playing. However his coach suggested that we came and stayed at Mentorskraal. I called Mentorskraal a couple of times and the second call assured me that they would be able to accomodate us as we were 3. Well when we arrived the gate was opened for us but on arriving in Reception it all appeared to be locked up. A few moments later a women came out and told us they were full. When I did point out that I had called she repeated that they were full telling me that they had Nahoon school there. No mention of Gonubie Primary. I am still very taken aback that people are so racially blind. Now how to explain to a 12 year old that we may not stay there as his dad & brother are black. He knows about colour but unfortunately this trip taught him that there are still ugly people out there.</p>

30 Aug 2016, 14:37Mentorskraal have sent a message via Facebook on this post. I have replied to them via that post but it does not seem to have come through. I have no desire to have an online debate. The fact remains that I did in fact call 3 times, the chap that I spoke to assured me that they would have room for us even to saying that in season it is R900 per night but as it is out of season it would be R500 but not to quote him on this. The Accomodation Manager did certainly not attend to our needs. We shall not be returning to the Mentors Country Estate. If the Marketing Manager that did reply to my post had read it properly she would have seen that in fact I am not Sir I am the wife. Thank you.
