Cape Town - Tweeters were up in arms over the weekend after a picture was posted of a Shoprite store in Botswana apparently selling a black doll and a white doll at two different prices.

The white doll had a price display of R149.95 while the incorrect price display beneath the black doll read R99.95, which was actually meant for a plush teddy bear.

Customers were oblivious of the mistake and took to Twitter accusing @Shoprite_SA of racism.
