My understanding is, she isn't the owner, but the cleaner, and the owners are actually off on holiday. At least thats what I got from the whatsapp groups, so may or may not be true.

thats a racist whatsapp group. the car is a rental.

Yes the article on News24 clearly states it is an Avis vehicle.

Thank you for clearing it up. Watched the video but there is no link to the news24 article, not even on the youtube video page.

As for it being racist, no idea how you guys get to that. Hypothetically the owners could be the same race as the cleaner. People really do like to draw their own conclusions and stir up trouble.

I understand. I have no idea what conversation went down in what group, but how is that statement racist? Is it the word "cleaner" instead of the usual "domestic worker"? Media blows up anything racist these days so I just want to educate myself.

Back on topic..... I think this a result of mistaking the throttle for the Brake. She must have thought she had her foot on the brake, and then when the car started moving, her natural reaction was to push the brake pedal harder.... Unfortunately the pedal being pushed was the Throttle and boom your in a wall....

You see the american's doing this into buildings / shops / petrol stations all the time. If the World hadn't accepted Automatic cars, and left them all manual then this wouldn't have happened. Just my 2c :smilebounce:

Perhaps the racism lies in the assumption that the person is a cleaner/domestic worker?

Makes sense. Although, assuming that that was the assumption in the first place would be irresponsible. Perhaps the guy who made this assumption was speaking of info he thought legitimate. This type of speculation could go on forever, and so could the calls of racism.

The world needs to learn how to stand together and think further down the path of discussion before spewing hatred. Talk like this only divides us.

I see her getting out with a pair of sandals in her hand. Maybe she was pressing the accelerator pedal but the sandal got stuck on her feather duster handle and she couldn't stop flooring it. :dunno:
