Blame your ANC government of incompetent blacks and coloreds who cannot operate an effective grass root level tax collection system.

i have questions for you two.

1. who do they pay their shop rent to?
2. where do they get their merchandise? (Remember 14% tax)
3. They eat and reside in SA, who gets all the money they spend on these?

you two are dull , i think you guys should go study economics. the truth is, these informal businesses makes up the real sector of your economy and they contribute to your GDP. its not all about eskom, transnet or those businesses you're used to.

Nigeria is a good example, Never underestimate the informal sector of an economy.

Centrifude:


Go to Soweto and see what's going on there, a lot of the shops there aren't registers, there's a huge difference between the profit they make and the rent they pay.

I honestly don't have a problem with people from other countries owning Businesses in S.A.

It becomes a problem when people smuggle goods into the country or don't register their Businesses.

Not even the police know where some of these shops are because the open in random places and prefer to remain hidden, one of the reasons it was so difficult for police to stop the looting is that they don't know the locations of the shops, which makes it almost impossible for the police to protect them.

The informal sector is good when your Business owners sell local products.

My girlfriend is Ghanaian and her father owns, Linen shop and he keeps telling me about how he's friend make a Sh*t load of money from selling Smuggled Goods and not paying Taxes, and that he's always tempted to do the same but he can't because he doesn't want to be seen and another "Foreign Crook" and mainly because his religion doesn't allow it.

So this doesn't just hurt S.A but also hurts other honest African.
