“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.
Mathekga said foreigners played an integral role in the economy and excluding them was not a solution. Amir Sheikh, spokesperson for the African Diaspora Forum, said the draft bill came as a shock to the organisation as it had always regarded Gauteng premier David Makhura as a champion of pan-Africanism.
VoetsekTimesLIVE.
It's not about banning foreigners but regulating their business activities in line with the Immigration Act. Similar laws are applied in Zim, Ghana, Ethophia, Botswana, recently ESwatini and the list goes on... Stop being hypocrites. Foreigners are becoming a nuisance.
Solution is in their countries and u welcome wena Times Live to go with them Africa is big
This is a delay tactic, because they know Once we wib/past this, next is WMC that hires foreign nationals.
We are ready for 'disaster'.
Experts se voet'
The only disaster was letting them in the fist place...
🤤🤤🤤🤤
Foreigners must go home and work their countries, enough is enough. We want our Country back PutSouthAfricansFirst
Nonsense
Botswana, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria etc are not allowing foreigners to do business in certain industries. There is nothing xenophobic by putting South Africans first
To hell with this publication
He’s bribed. I still say SA must be put under sanctions for harboring and aiding terrorists
Dumb experts
David_Makhura do not be intimidated by these foreigners. Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda and many countries have such laws. If not happy, they must go to another country.
They must integrate in their countries not here
They must fokof!
Yazi impela what kind of umsuzo is ths.? 🤔
Expert ya msono
Why not integrate them in Sandton
A disaster for who
We dont need in our townships..we rather go back to our old way were we used to go to mabaso general dealer,khanyile shop, kandlovu,joe hofman,jamza,pinky mabona khumalo shop...if you grow up in DAVEYTON you will know what im talking about
Nonsense experts
Countries progressing in ensuring that local economy remains in the hands of their people are those with Patriotic Agenda and don't listen to pseudo experts and analysts. Look at how they apply the law without any hesitation and fear of being called Anti Immigrants/Xenophobic
Legitimate foreign investment that offers growth and skills transfer to South Africans. We can’t afford illegal or those taking South Africa for a ride and only offering employment to their fellow country man.
Marete a ANC le ma foreigner a bona mahn
The solution is for them to go back to their country they cannot come here& expect to enjoy the same benefit as SAfr. Infact what they were allowed to do was wrong we r enough with foreigners enjoying benefits that should be enjoyed by SAfrbcos of ppl who want to sell the country
Nope ayigubhe!!!
What stops locals from opening their own businesses? Competition in business is always good. You might learn something valuable from foreigners.
Why are you so hellbent to protect these foreigners at the expense of your local BLACK people 🖕🖕aarrgg mann TSEK
Foreigner (in South Africa) /ˈfɒrɪnə/ noun: foreigner; plural noun: foreigners 1. a black person born in or coming from another African country.
During apartheid there was few illegal immigrants,but the economy was stable,ay suka!!!
Some people come from countries where they have no say about decision taken in their country. When they get here they want to have an opinion about our country. Government must ban foreigners from making comments or being analyst in our political space.
Disaster to whom, South Africa is demanding that it should be done so who is saying it will be disasterers, Ri singo nyeliwa rine, fuck foreigners
Usijwayela kabi lona, makhalengulube.
'Amir Sheikh, spokesperson for the African Diaspora Forum, said-' Tsek!
This is reactionary and xenophobic. Do they ban white settlers, because they originate in Europe, we tend to point somewhere in fear of colonialists.
We were doing just fine without foreigners, actually we were thriving!!! Disaster se voet. VoetsekANC NigeriansMustGo SomaliansMustGo PakistanisMustGo ZimbabweansMustGo ChineseMustGo
'Mathekga said foreigners played an integral role in the economy and excluding them was not a solution' Wena Ralph musa ukusijwayeza ngama foreigners bcz wena uyi political analyst. Stop sacrificing poor SAns!! What's wrong with these unpatriotic SAns? 🤬🤬
Hey Futsek maan,
Would the same expect be happy if he were to be replacedc by a foreign national in his current job so that he can go sit at home?
So townships were a disaster before illegal foreign shops 🤔
We don't care if it will be a disaster or not we want foreign nationals of our cities and town, small sectors should be returned to south Africans or the entire ANC need to vacate office as they are failing to serve our interests
'how to integrate them into the economy' n we speak about people who are running business as we speak.
How are they paying you. I grew up buying from front Ntate Maponyas shop the was no disaster. Today you enrich foreigners at our expense.keep in disregarding South Africans YOU GONNA PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR THAT. EKECTIONS ARE COMING Foreigners are taken care of in their countries
Now I believe to those who says ANC in a ballot 🗳 surved by foreigners
This Time Live is full of nonsense, I guess it is runned by foreigners, Other countries are doing this and no one is talking about integration. Why only South Africa. Le African Diaspora is acting like We owe them something. Let se if the ANC government have balls
Bull ur r mad
Let’s try it and see
Voetsek Prof Jannie Rossouw Voetsek Ralph Mathekga Voetsek African Diaspora These so called experts ziyanya! Integration yamasimba -What skills are these migrants bringing, - Who asked them to bring them - Who said SAns don't have these skills Our country is not for sale!!
The solution is to get rid of all foreigners finish and klaar,
I call bullshit.
I'm so pissed, I'm literally shaking.
They should be making sure that those foreigners businesses that don't comply with the law must be shut down...the law is there..why don't they implement it? We are being abused here
This shit is disgusting.
Experts tsa masepa! They must integrate them in their own homes and workplaces.
There is no disaster here, this is just an extension of existing laws and they should already be implemented. Anyone who thinks this will create a problem is a moron and has a politically correct agenda the same way SA media is disgustingly reporting narratives
David_Makhura African Diaspora forum is undermining our country and our government.. South Africans will never be allowed to open a organization that fights citizens in any African state but they are here calling the shots and fighting citizens.. Don't listen..
We r still asking for the government to help us cleaning this illegal immagrants and foreigners who r destroying our economy after that we will deal with this matter on our own n it's won't nice at all, fuck this media!
Thers no need for intergration, those peoples countries have the same laws, why are they stopping SA from adopting same laws as their countries?
Soo it's a disaster in SA but not in Nigeria, Ghana and Botswana mxm please
MYANC will do exactly what PutSouthAfricansFirst says... We are not asking them but telling them.. We are not negotiating with our government but we the people are giving them orders.. There will be no peace until all we say is done.. They like it or not...
MYANC are you listening to yourselves? Banning foreign nationals from owning a business space will be a disaster but it was never a disaster when South Africans were excluded? Are you representing foreign nationals or South Africans..
This is the kind of language used by all who stay in areas where safety is prioritized.
I think we don't need ANC anymore
Zimbabweans experts
How will this be a disaster? It’s not like they have employed people and pay them good salaries.
Disaster unyoko Tsek. Makwerekwere must go
Intergrate yamasimba, fuseg disaster my foot🚮
Your journalist must definitely be foreigners ..you guys are always into screaming xenophobia or looking for ways to keep foreigners in our country ..
'Experts' who buy their groceries from Woolworths & African diaspora who are trying to buy South African 😂😂
South africans must not revive their Businesses because some people amongst us think Foreigners are better off making a living from South Africans. What a load of bullshit we have adopted as South Africans.
Hayi shem y'all are working hard to force these people on us why can't they go do business in their country fck man asibafuni kanti nizwa njani.
There will be no disaster here: expert
If it was so easy, why haven't our locals opened shops years ago... always an excuse. If it is not apartheid, then it is the foreigners, what will be next
MYANC is crazy, fok maan
The experts are foreigners surely 😅😅they always defend their brothers
voetsek man its foreigners this foreigners that. When their countries were implementing this laws we didn't see you worried about SAns, go do business in their country and stop trying to feed citizens your poison. David_Makhura I thank you and please implement

Sunday Times is anti-South Africans. It's anti-black South Africans. So telling that only person interviewed is some Amir Sheikh. Where are South Africans who live in these townships? Where are small businesses owned by black South Africans operating in these townships?
SA media is too bias but one day we will crush you are you will never recover
There won't any disaster greater than the one we see of having 95% of spazas operating in townships being owned by foreign nationals!
Most of shops collapsed before Somalians arrived in SA bcoz our South Afriican brothers and sisterd could not compite with big retailers something Somalians can do with easy, South Africans wants to get rich quickly by charging us huge profit
White privilege expert research
David_Makhura don't be pressured by nonsense organisation's that can't even stand against their abusers back were they came from. 42% unemployment rate is complete failure by your anc
Dakiwe
A disaster for who?
Times live,playing stomach politics! Are the foreigners paying a fee to get such Publicity?
How is it going to be a disaster?
Katlegong is doing well and must be used as an example on how things works
Come to think of it, what's stopping us from opening our own shops next to them and compete? This is home and the buyers are our brothers and sisters. Why can't we? I am starting to have mix feelings. What is stopping us? I think it's about time we also look at ourselves
I don't want to integrate with foreigners
And why didn't we have this disaster before foreign nationals came to south Africa? All these businesses used to be run by South Africans and we never had a disaster so why now?
Tshek foreigners must go and build their economic at their countries
A disaster for foreigners to benefit South Africans is worth it. Why should locals suffer and be forced to intergrate with parasites? Township economy must be 100% local, not up for negotiations. Locals are the best experts about what is good for their communities.
Are they township economy experts?
Fustek
How were South Africans operating their own Spaza shops for years without it being disastrous to any person or the economy? Ngiyabuza, angilwi🤔
Hai mara MYANC what is coming up with solutions when there’s immigration laws 🙄I am an expatriate I know damn well certain jobs are reserved for citizens in my country of residence PutSouthAfricansFirst
These experts are also foreigners neh?
If they say foreigners, do they mean all race
In some Countries you cannot own a business unless you have a local partner even the land, its only here in the land of Milk and honey, where its possible.
I have a feeling that there are embedded jurnos deliberatly wanting this country to go to the dogs To deliberately parachute negative opinions about SA, saying nothing about the 43% unemployed Have they ever asked these foreigners if they have the minimum R5milion investment 🤷🏿♂️
Can they define solution..these expects are clowns..
Experts in what?
If ANC government cannot help us then we need to help ourselves PutSouthAfricaFirst
He has a point... There should be a list of the type of businesses not allowed to operate there. This draft will stop everyone. You can't even be a doctor with a practise there. If you owned a courier company all over, you can't have an office there.
If it is xenophobic, then so be it. As South Africans we are tired of all the bull kak.....
This so called expert, fails to recognize Pronvicial goverment plan to have foreign business registered and compliant.
TimesLive is working overtime to discredit PutSouthAfricansFirst, I mean does this 'professor' even know how the township economy works? Has she been in a township for even an hour? I am truly concerned about privileged people making assumption about poor people's lives🙄🙄
Can they please share their opinion to the Governments of Ghana, Botswana, Rwanda, United Kingdom amongst others, or even China or Pakistan and see if they will get a response So called “experts” should not been empowered to undermine us with these
