‘Have a glass of shame’: Nomzamo Mbatha blasts City of Cape Town over R2.6 million studio apartment listing
The listing showed an asking price of R2 595 000 for a 20m² unit with 0.5 bedrooms and one bathroom.
Actress and activist Nomzamo Mbatha expressed her disapproval of a Cape Town studio apartment listed for a staggering R2.595 million on social media. Sharing a screenshot of the Property24 listing on her Instagram Stories, she tagged the City of Cape Town and wrote, "Have a glass of shame." The apartment in question is located at the ONE26 ON M development on Main Road in Sea Point, with an asking price of 20m² for R2 595 000, featuring no bedrooms and one bathroom.
Mbatha's post has generated mixed reactions online. Some users, like Lihle, acknowledged the high property prices, stating that some people have become accustomed to them. Hlela, on the other hand, considered the prices to be normal for the Sea Point area, remarking that this market is more in line with cities like New York. However, many, including Emily T, agreed with Mbatha that the city's landlords should also be called out, not just those in Sea Point.
