Sunday Times reports that three cleaners at Sun City claim they were made to strip naked after guests alleged that R6,000 had been stolen from their unit at the resort's Vacation Club apartments on New Year's Day.
A tearful Doreen Motaung, who has worked at the resort for 12 years with a clean record, said she felt humiliated and violated and added: “I was forced to expose myself in front of a young [female] security guard who is almost the same age as my child." She also said the quests verbally abused the three workers using racial slurs. However, Sun City claims the women voluntarily undressed during a pat-down in privacy. "[A strip-search] would have been contrary to Sun International's policy," said spokesman Michael Farr. No money was found to be in the possession of the three ladies employees. Farr indicated that an internal investigation was underway.
