This comes after Magor topped trending charts for a blatantly racist rant about how black men are worse than pit bulls and should be banned instead.

Speaking to SowetanLIVE, the landlord who shared their story on the condition of anonymity, said Magor was served with a 30-day eviction notice on Friday morning, 25 November. The landlord said they received WhatsApp messages on Friday informing her about what Magor did. After reading the stories, the landlord immediately gave Magor notice to leave the property.

"I do not want to associate myself with a racist. We do not want such people here."

The landlord said that Magor was unhappy upon receiving the eviction notice and profusely apologised for her racist comments, but that didn't change the landlord's mind. The man stated he would not tolerate such behaviour from her.

The eviction is only the latest in a laundry list of problems Magor is facing. Her racist rant has landed her firmly in the crosshairs of the South African Human Rights Commission, claiming the voice note constituted hate speech, and the Chapter Nine institution plans to take the woman to the Equality Court, IOL reported.

Mogar, who blamed her racist outburst on a diabetes diagnosis, was arrested on Friday, and her cell phone was taken for evidence.
