Police Minister BhekiCele says undocumented foreign nationals make the police’s fight against crime difficult. Read more on TheCitizenNews
Speaking to the media, Cele said most stalls on De Villiers Street and elsewhere in the city have been rented out by South Africans to foreign nationals who then sell fake items.“These stalls are licensed and are owned by South Africans and those South Africans are not utilising them, instead, they lease them to foreign nationals and that is wrong. That’s why we have to get a list of the people who have these permits,” he said.
The minister called on those who don’t use their permits to return them so the stalls can be given to other people.“There’s no use to get them legally and give them to people that are not supposed to be here, people that are not legit, people that run away when police come. If you run away when you see police coming, then you know you are doing something wrong that you are doing, you know that you are committing a crime.
