Companies are illicitly claiming public pavements for private parking and seating in Johannesburg, creating a climate of lawlessness.

And while it’s not exactly Steinheist, small acts of defying the law make perpetrators as guilty of propagating a national culture of lawlessness as a gang of looters.

“It is illegal, unless they applied for consent but to take over the pavement for private commercial use, I don’t see how the municipality would grant such consent.” “There are many companies that have extremely little regard for the law and the communities they operate in. Companies that land grab are as guilty as anyone else of breaking the law.”Morgan Nissan dealership owner removed the sign. Photo: Hein Kaiser
