  • Racist SMS 'meant for wife'
  • Cape Town - A man had to apologise to his former domestic worker and pay her R10 000 according to an order by the Durban Equality Court after he called her a "k**** bitch".

    Cameron Forsyth wrote this SMS in October last year after their domestic worker Zandile Magubane did not come to work. But instead of sending it to his wife as he intended, he by accident sent it to Magubane's phone.

    The message went: "Try calling the k***** bitch from a private number. She is not answering my calls".

    When she got the SMS, she immediately called Forsyth's wife, who apologised to her and said she'd ask her husband to do the same.

    According to court documents, Magubane told the couple that she did not want to work for them anymore. She felt deeply hurt and offended.

    According to a snap News24 poll, one in every two News24 User says they've send an embarrasing SMS to the wrong person.

    We want you to send us your embarrassing SMS stories. Don't worry, you can send them anonymously.

    We'll publish a selection of the best on Wednesday on MyNews24!
