“How do they define the township economy? Would a migrant architect be prohibited from doing work in townships? Would a plumber who is not South African also be prohibited from doing work in townships?”Political analyst Ralph Mathekga said the framing of the bill was worrying.
The Gauteng government has had so many programmes on the revitalisation of the township economy and it seems all those programmes never worked.He said politicking could not be excluded and that the Gauteng government could be yielding to pressure. This would have negative implications should it go ahead with the bill, he added.
Sheikh said they would take part in the public participation process when it opened and make submissions, adding that the forum was ready to fight the bill should it be adopted. “The Gauteng government has had so many programmes on the revitalisation of the township economy and it seems all those programmes never worked, and now they want to come up with another programme which can also not yield any results and will destroy so many livelihoods of migrants in this country,” he said.
Who is stopping South Africans to do business in town ships. We have got shops but we are renting them to foreigners, who's wrong.
Foreigners are not banned but their activities in the economic are regulated. The same laws are applicable in their countries of origin. These are hypocrites and are here to undermine governmemt and act at variance with our laws.
Lol
Ralph Mathekga lives in dream land, foreigners left their destroyed countries and are destroying South Africa. GP is correct by establishing rules for immigrants which is standard throughout the world. In 1983, Nigeria dismissed 2m Ghanaian illegal immigrants, does he know that?
Try opening a Spaza shop in Somalia or Ethiopia or Pakistan. And listen to the reasons why they wont allow you as a foreigner to do so. Because they certainly wont allow you. Then come let's have a real talk.
If Covernement don't do it, the people will do it themselves, like they did in Katlehong 🤞
It may not be the solution but a good start, we need to reclaim the township and village economy...whilst at it breakdown the drug kernels in our cities decisively
Deport all border jumpers, stop the monkey tricks !!!
Mathega oa pota
This is not the issue ! You can not start excluding people from the economy, we will loose much need foreign investment, the issue is ILLEGAL immigrants people who not here legally must go. The ANC is diverting there incompetence and failures and creating bigger problems. Clowns!
to maximize profits, i guess you have to pay slavery salaries somewhere
Makhura is on the right track, unlike the stupid premieres of other provinces. You can't leave Pakistan and come to south Africa to run a spaza shop business, where will south Africans do business? There's an evidence that they sell fake goods which is killing our economy.
Point of correction. Black foreigners. White foreigners are OK. 😬
It will give SA citizens the opportunity to open business
Mathekga is crazy. They must leave our townships and we will run businesses there. We are capable.
Idi Amin chased away Asians thinking it would better the situation in Uganda. He went for the soft target and it backfired spectacularly
In this country only Africans are foreigners, whilst settler colonialists are unattached.
Put South Africans first, or for a foreigners to have a business a South African must own 51%
Uyasibhedela loyo how did we live before 1994
Mathekga has never even set foot in a Somali spaza shop and never tasted a stalled 'fresh' bread I'm sure he is eyeing that R100mil they are offering for permanent citizenship
This post apartheid government is a nightmare that’s not gonna end in the foreseeable future 😒
There are disused cinema halls in Kwa-Thema and Tsakane. Cinema goers now prefer the ultra-modern cinemas built at Carnival City and East Gate Mall. The Black owners were not able to survive predatory white capital
That expert must come stay in the township for a year.
Get them all OUT of SA !!! ....... They are at no benefit to SA ...... just parrasites who drain SA !!
I do not understand this political analysts. We had no foreigners prior 94 and the spaza were thriving. I just do not get their logic. Firstly, were these spaza gets their stock is mystery. But some think they contribute to economy. It's the people in township doing that.
It's not a solution in South Africa but it's solution in countries like Ghana,Kenya,Rwanda and Botswana
who are these experts I wanna see their faces,what a failed bunch of hoodlums
With fake clothes, expired food and not paying tax? Is this Mathekga dude on their payroll to tell this nonsense
ANC comrades they're not staying with us so the things that we experience always they're not there so we will deal with all when times come
Mathekga is speaking from his comfortable and air conditioned office.
Le pallwa ke state capture ☝🏽
Those who shop around Woolworth with our tax money don't get the canned fish we get from the Somalians spaza shop PutSouthAfricanFirst
They don't pay tax and they sell counterfeit goods. I wonder where this experts get their information from, township economy should be reserved for the locals, don't get things twisted. No one said foreigners should leave south Africa but should be here legally & operate fairly.
Ditlaela tseo di ya pota. Ba kena kae ko kasi ba sa dule moo
It can’t be at the expense of natives though. They squeeze natives out of the economy, which is wrong.
They rejected the Soweto Market project and now running around very desperate
To have their business work. In SA we are very good in wishing others to fail. No actual supporting local business cause I do not want Mailes to be better that Ndlovus or Mokoenas. This attitude should stop pronto.
As for MEC Maile, you should have done research to find out what made their business tick. You cannot be saying they are going to be excluded then ask for their secrete to good business. Obvious, LebogangMaile1 SAns should start by throwing out PHD syndrome to have their busines
The majority of people in township are SAns, they are the ones who buys or actually enable foreigners to thrive with their business. Foreigner do sell to their kin, the sell to SAns. Its economically skewed to say, leaving them would make initiative not work.
This experts are pathetic. How do you does foreign investment got to do with disallowing foreigners not to be economically active in townships? Does that means foreigners are the actual currency in the township? Spaza shop sells expired food, which are ilicite.
But some of them are selling fake goods and not paying tax so how does excluding them spell disaster for Gauteng economy
So Ghana , Nigeria ,Botswana and many other African countries can do it but it won't work for SA mxm
Take them to the suburbs and let's see how these experts like that?
All of you are busy hurling insults at these expects yet you are unknown people,, my question is who is stopping you from running those businesses? Stop this blame game and take responsibility!!!
They must register with sars to operate in full capacity
Majority is them how a they assisting our economy
To hell with those experts. They think they know more than us who stay in the townships. They can stay in their suburbs and stay out of any issues regarding townships.
Ba bua kaak!!
So , what is the situation?
It's not like Pakistani and Somali import their products. So excluding them will mean all manufacturers will move lesser products and most forced to retrench workers
Which means we only existed after 1994 to the so called experts.Yhaa nhee.
This expert should then bring in solutions to save the economy
Bullshit
We don't want them to be banned. We want them to be licensed so that they can pay tax to the state.
Which expert mqundu...?
Uyanya lo
“The Gauteng government should not be excluding foreigners, but rather regulating their participation in the economy. I’m not sure if these extreme measures will work. An economy is not produced in a lab. You don’t go in to mix things and when you have done so get results.”
Tried boycotting foreigners and asked South Africans to do some maintenance on my home but was hit with all sorts of minimum wage this,uif that, union this, paternity leave this etc ...
Fuck those experts, who are those experts by way.Our economy is on its knees, and you have people farting with their mouths instead of looking at this bomb in front of us. Prioritizing your own in certain sectors is not a crime !!. Swaziland just followed other SADC in doing that
Rubbish those experts must put their ideas where their mouths are, our economy don't need foreigners to survive
Stupid experts, asking the wrong type of questions and selective reading.
Fuck those experts. Lokshins had tuckshops all over, South African owned, but instead of government and those experts guiding them to register and do all that other 'lawful paperwork' kak,they watched foreign nationals take over the small businesses that put bread to table of SA
Can it not be only in the townships. Also in restaurants across the province please,let them sit down and we serve them
lol
Fuck them experts
