Speaking from the organisation’s offices in Dube, Soweto, Nkosi said the township’s informal traders were fuming because of the government’s failure to enforce laws.“We have been pleading with them to do the right thing.
“For example, when Rainbow Chickens was threatened by foreign competition, the government raised tariffs [tax on foreign goods] to increase the price of cheap chickens imported from Brazil. Some members of her organisation had been chased away from trading near malls in Soweto, only for foreigners to be allowed to trade at the same spot, she said.
She said although locally owned businesses faced foreign-owned competitors and major retail malls, it was the foreigners who gave Sasta’s members sleepless nights.“The malls are coming into our spaces because the government officials get shares and get land easily. “They don’t employ anyone because they are employees in their syndicates which are run from warehouses.”
It's the first time i learn about such association.
