ActionSA’s #Spaza4Locals campaign aims to empower South African entrepreneurs, curbing foreign ownership and illicit trade in township economies.
ActionSA details #Spaza4Locals strategy to combat foreign ownership and illicit trade in township spaza shops
With R200 billion in economic activity at stake, ActionSA’s proposed amendments to the Township Economy By-Laws represent a critical step toward retaining financial returns within the country and revitalising township businesses. ActionSA Parliamentary Chief Whip Lerato Ngobeni emphasised, “The #Spaza4Locals Reserved Sectors Bill is not merely a policy proposal, it is a mission to create a fair, prosperous South Africa where township businesses put South Africans first.”This focus on local ownership is designed to empower township entrepreneurs, allowing them to retain economic power within their communities and foster local job creation.
Stricter regulations and penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and immediate closures, will apply to those found in violation. This component of #Spaza4Locals is essential in ensuring that illegal activities no longer jeopardise the financial health and safety of township communities. The #Spaza4Locals campaign also highlights the importance of equipping South African spaza shop owners with essential business skills.
ActionSA’s proposed amendments seek to fill these regulatory gaps by providing a transparent, enforceable framework that levels the playing field and fosters a fair market for South Africans.
