Mzansi Left Worried About Their Health After Foreigners Were Arrested For Selling This Fake Product.
In every community in South Africa, there has been a big market for small businesses, especially in townships. Throughout the years, tuckshops have been opened by certain individuals who have the capability of running a business within these townships. The reason is to make it easily accessible for residents to find the products that they need instead of having to get in a taxi and go to town, even if it is just a single product. Back in the day, the majority of these tuckshops were run by locals until many of the foreign nationals who come from Ethiopia, Somalia, Pakistan, and even Bangladesh, decided to infiltrate the market in South Africa.
And that has resulted in many of the small businesses that were run by locals in these townships being closed down. In today’s South African society, the businesses of tuckshops still exist, and the majority of them are owned by foreign nationals. But recently, people started having an issue with small businesses being overtaken by foreign nationals, especially knowing that it does not help the economy in any way and that they don’t pay any tax. Locals want to take them to their tuckshop economy now.
Another thing that has made locals insist on wanting these tuckshops owned by foreign nationals is that many of them were exposed for creating their own fake products behind back doors. Not much is known about what they put into these products that many people consume. It has been reported that foreign nationals have been arrested after a fake grandpa was found in their shop. This has made the South very worried about their health.
