Markus Jooste continues to lay low, and hasn’t really been seen much in public since his Parliament grilling back in September.

By the way, if you didn’t hate the man enough, here’s a story about how the Steinhoff scandal is affecting South African orphans.

Perhaps in the months and years to come, Jooste will be forced to sell off some of his extensive property portfolio (his Val de Vie plot was placed on the market in January).

For now, though, we’re focusing on the luxury 525 m² Stellenbosch property put up for sale by Andrea, Markus’ daughter, and Stefan Potgieter.

The three-bedroom, 367 m² floor-space house is located in the affluent Mostertsdrift area, as reported by News24:

Potgieter previously managed some of his father-in-law’s business affairs. The couple has a baby of a few months old…

The sales agent, Herman Basson Carstens, wouldn’t confirm or deny…whether the house is owned by Jooste’s daughter and son-in-law.

“Why are you so interested in whose house it is?” he asked.

Given that reporters already visited Andrea and Stefan in the house back in February, they don’t need the sales agent to confirm anything.

Let’s head to the listing on Property24, which says the house “welcomes one with excellent finishes, natural light and sunshine”.

How’s this for real estate hyperbole:

One would want to spend the entire day relaxing & living in this wonderful space. It is difficult to describe this special property and its exeptional [sic] characteristics, therefore a must to be seen.

So difficult to describe that they’re making up new words like “exeptional” to do it.

Fine, we’ll look around.

The house is wrapped in a truly beautiful garden that provides privacy without isolating it from its environment. The views towards town and the surrounding mountains from upstairs patio, are priceless. Framing the horizon from all angles.

This property defines understated luxury. The house is designed for the connoisseur and quality is its signature. The rooms in the living areas are interconnected, with an effortless flow from entrance, kitchen, dining area to lounge and study. An automated battery system, ensures fully integrated back-up power.

Yeah, it is quite nice.

It is not known why Andrea and Stefan are selling the house. Maybe the dirty looks from neighbours eventually became too much to bear?
