More foreign nationals registering for spaza shops than South Africans

[@sibusisodlamini4943]

ANC have failed Black South Africans

[@biko8229]

Yep, and Madiba told us what to do them once they betrayed us.

[@janlap]

They have failed all South Africans except the ruling elite but their arrogance still remains.Most of them are even too fat to walk properly.

[@Bluecollarjoe6B9]

The ANC’s failure is complete. The Black Child is now in a worse position than during apartheid.

[@Ash_Hole-f7p]

Some will still remain arrogant to that fact

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

I don't think we need foreign nationals for spaza shops. We have been surviving before this started

[@kabifest8897]

You survived because the apartheid masters own all shops

[@DelaniMbatha]

6 foreign national s running 1 shop that is what is happening so now the government will only support 1 individual instead of 6in 1 so their business will remain strong

[@rendaninemavhidi1554]

Well done ANC. Think about it. The struggle for liberation was primarily about economic emancipation. This was the key mandate given to the ANC. Needless to say that the ANC fell far short of this mandate. But in addition to failing what do they do? They facilitate the takeover of whatever little opportunity there is for the rural and Township folk to eke a living, the Spaza economy. Black economic empowerment is not only dead for the majority of black people, but they are being stripped of whatever little they have to empower people who had long attained independence when South Africans were still fighting for freedom.

[@Ash_Hole-f7p]

They should scrap BEE

[@SiphoMosea-df5hz]

That's not the point the point is local spaza shop belong to south Africans. Secondly shoprite pick n let spar; supersaves must open mini markets or spaza shops in townships working together with local business people and employing locals as part of job creation

[@michaelmashele867]

Spaza shop is not a scare skill

[@mmasesema4456]

true

[@siZobonaMakeza]

Turns out it is.

[@thatoCraztt]

Is it possible that SAns heard that there could be tax implications and that if there are grant recipients they could loose that too??

[@donlakakwaaijazz5220]

This is just a mess, the government did not think this through properly. Is the law to prevent renting out your license to the next person

[@kabifest8897]

The locals complain and look

[@trumpet835]

Spaza business, Its a honey pot out here in south africa.Osoble And Barwako you time is running out.Abahambe

[@diatilenthoba8262]

As long as they are not running any business in townships it's ok...let them apply it's ok but run those shops somewhere else than in our townships where the kids are exposed to poisonous food and drugs.because bo my friend front with spaza shops to sell drugs.

[@siZobonaMakeza]

Wonder how they came up with R400bil to fund everyone. 🌬️👍🏾

[@LebogangMolamu-fo4et]

If the government said people who wants to own n tuck shops then the was going to be a lot of SAcns who register. Tuck shops are owned by foreigners hence they're the ones who will register in numbers.

[@bathenebuthelezi1614]

It is difficult for South Africans to compete with these people. They are selling cheap fake stuff. And you find 5 people owning one spaza shop.

[@ItsAmazing00]

I hope they are not going to give our tax contributions to foreigners.

[@macKhiwa-y1c]

Haibo so you fund them n give materials then they sell it yarrrr😅😅😅 south africans are giving god a headache guyss foreigners dnt evens need funding or material s frm anyone they know hw to run this business

[@Ash_Hole-f7p]

Lol, they ain't going nowhere

[@eolivetalltre9533]

These shops will be the downfall of a country and it's economy....for sure It's also a health risk.

[@MD..926]

Can the list of all Spaza's who registered be publicized for public comment.

[@silaskhalishwayo]

Stupid people will blame eff😂😂😂😂😂

[@fanamlawuli6761]

Unpatriotic disgusting party

[@valeriamahlangu372]

Spaza shop is something small and temporal and in my experience it doesn't yield any profit. You use it for survival. I grew up in Soweto, my grandmother sold the same amakikip, broken biscuits, chips, sweets, spinach, mealie meal, archaar, vegetables there's no profit. We need to be clear in what exactly are these people selling that is giving so much profit instead of beating about the bush. You don't need 5 spazas in one street, what exactly are you selling? We are too quiet as South Africans, we need to call a spade a spade about these spazas. Who really owns them, the poor workers have bosses who are collecting government funding and their workers are there to benefit from accommodation hence the poor condition, dirt and filth in those small containers they have no place to live. Please can the government stop being lazy, fully research this and give us answers. We had shops selling bigger items, spazas were used as convinience shops just like your corner garages. Stop blaming South African citizens for nothing. We have been in this country long enough to understand that the politics around this has nothing to do with citezens but politicians who are benefiting from abusing the funding system. Not everyone can do business. Apply the law and let's see how these businesses would flourish. Pure corruption and both local people and foreign nationals are being used for political gains. It's not fair, we have been failed as black people by our government😢 it's sad!

[@dailyshowtelevisiondstv5585]

Ungangeni econversation ngenhliziyo yakho 😂😂😂😂

[@VincentMasina]

At my area 7 speza shops et the same street 6 for foreign erst and most of them are quite but owners are driving expensive cars

[@dailyshowtelevisiondstv5585]

It means there is sugar there😂😂😂😂

[@dailyshowtelevisiondstv5585]

You can not just wake up and become a business person because you are south African , SAs spending the whole day in the spaza shop,when are they going to be grooving😂😂😂😂

[@bekithembandebele8270]

The fact that a business opportunity exists does not mean that people actually want to do that business. Some people are comfortable standing in the sidelines and complaining.... you can't force people to be entrepreneurs...

[@lovedlover2667]

Just bcoz u can right in enlisgh doesn't mean u can think smartly

[@mck5549]

& the data does make sense, foreign nationals cannot apply for formal jobs in South Africa so its normal that they look to businesses that are lucrative. Also, if South Africans don't want to participate, whose problem is it really? Its the same as the delivery business, our people don't want this type of job, but they are happy to make orders from Checkers etc so it shouldn't be a problem

[@mmeme5861]

I wonder 😢

[@WHO-c5e]

@@lovedlover2667 It is ignorant mindsets like yours that shows why this country is in the toilet.

[@rendaninemavhidi1554]

Are you implying that there were not shops in black communities before you guys came with your fake and poisonous products? People who jumped the fence into South Africa after 1994 cant claim to be experts on our country.

[@ChristopherJames-k8h]

this MEC is clueless, suffer the south african citizens

[@steveleroux6116]

Foreign nationals know how to manage shops

[@michaelmashele867]

And how did nationals who had shops before, loose the skills to run shops.. Because when I grew up before the influx of foreign nationals we had many shops run by south Africans

[@thobileqacha3229]

Yeah they are expect in selling fake rotten poison expired food. Ridiculous.

[@ThembiSibeko-sl8cy]

Did u take yo tym n see wat nasty things that they r doing in their shop b4 yu say they know how to run their shops. Mayb yu r a kwerekwere

[@Ash_Hole-f7p]

South Africans are lazy. You supposed to remove the monopoly when they started taking over decades ago. It's to late now

[@SiphoMosea-df5hz]

Shoprite, spar boxer pick n pay they must start spaza shops in townships working together with local business people and employing local as part of job creation
