Hope this doesnt happen at all.....that being said some of the peeps do some weird isht to bulldoze local bussinessmen, I know it doesnt happen everywhere but this was the scenario ko dladleng:
1. a group of Pakistani shop owners created a "local bussiness commitee" whose membership was 100% foreign (Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Somali etc). Now these dudes somehow convinced the city council that they are a proper representation of the towns bussiness community. Meaning that they have authority to suggest and have input in the City's economic policies.
2. ANYone business-aspirant who wants to open a shop is subject to the comittees' approval plus there are sites where new shops are not allowed. They claimed they were doing this to prevent congestion.
3.One of the community radio station did a reseach and found there were about 155 shops in the townships....about 53 were South african owned.
4.The "retailers comittee" blocked plenty of people, mostly SA citizens from getting licenses to operate.
5.Some shop owners rented very small places and on most occa**ion they sleep in the same area were their products (mostly food ) are stored....these niggas were taking baths and wiping their a**es when less than a metre way theres tomatoes etc....
Now given a situation like the one above, it is hard to expect SA locals in my area not to want them out.....Im not justifying Xenophobia....just giving you something I witnessed. I think government and local city councills are to blame for all tghis..........
