Jawitz distances itself from race row realtor
Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal estate agent at the centre of a Twitter race row has gone to ground, as her former employer counts the cost of the damage to their brand.
Penny Sparrow took to Facebook and labelled black beachgoers as “monkeys”, which resulted in a national social media outcry.
Jawitz Properties CEO Herschel Jawitz told News24 that while Sparrow had left the company two months ago, her online profile still associated her with their brand.
“She is an ex-employee and unfortunately she hadn’t updated her Facebook page that still reflects her as employed by Jawitz Properties,” he said.
