The meeting follows racist comments from the owner, Andre Slade, which caused a social media storm last week.
In an email, Slade told a prospective guest that they don&39;t accept blacks or government employees any longer.
Zikalala is expected to visit the guest house later on Wednesday.
He says he&39;s received a preliminary report after an investigation and that action will be taken.
The South African Human Rights Commission is also looking into the matter.
