Soweto Shuts Down Foreign-owned Shops After Kids Die Of Food Poisoning (PICS) by WannaHowzit(op):
“WE don’t want aboMyfriend (foreign nationals).”

Residents of Naledi Extension, in Soweto, are up in arms and have embarked on an operation to shut down spaza shops owned by foreign nationals ekasi (in townships).

On Tuesday, 8 October, spaza shop owners (kiosks) were forced to vacate their shops.

This follows the death of five pupils aged six to nine, who died after consuming snacks bought at a local spaza shop on Sunday, 6 October.

Operation Dudula (Operation Cleanup) member, Dineo Lebethe, told Daily Sun they feel as if the government has turned a blind eye on what's happening and not helping.

“This is the second time an incident like this has happened. We're here again because five kids have died. We want these people to take their things and go, never to come back to Naledi. We're opposing the issue of undocumented foreign nationals running spaza shops in our country. We don’t benefit anything from this,” Dineo said.

She said undocumented foreign nationals do as they please in Mzansi (South Africa), taking advantage of the country's porous borders.

"South Africa's the only place where undocumented foreigners have rights," she said.

“We're not protected. It's painful that even when kids die, nothing is done. We no longer want these people in our country. Enough is enough.”

A community member told Daily Sun they've been complaining about spaza shop owners selling food that has long expired, for so long.

Operation Dudula members stressed that community members should stand united and stop housing aboMyfriend.

Spaza Shop and Tuck Shop Association Secretary and Head of Business Development, Sbusiso Ngcobo, slammed a lack of compliance, blaming the government for not inspecting and regulating the sector.

The government just refuses to tackle this issue, how many kids must die before action is taken?

They are south for a reason... It's tragic what happened to those kids but I find it difficult to understand why they just love to lay blames elsewhere ... The record number of black on black violence in that shit hole has not been addressed yet but they are crying and wailing to get rid of "fellow Africans".

I have come to realize when a people have been enslaved and endured segregation and humiliation for a long time, then they now taste freedom, they will quickly become entitled and lazy, bitter, hateful , and start blaming thier inadequacies on the trauma they went at the same time subjecting those they percieve as "not like us" to he same treatment their opressors used against them ... Case study, the Jews, black America, nigger south africa and the list goes on ... HURT people HURT people.

Black South Africans. Expert in the following


1- Quick gathering. In a flash and in record time, you see Black south Africans gather in their 100's hunting foreigners... How they bundled up so quick and all ready for war baffles observers ... DON'T THEY GOT SOMETHING TO DO AT WORK??

2- Target foreigners. This is a sport among BSA. They have no "Balls" to target the real and most obvious foreigners . A 2nd class citizen on his own ancestral lands will only look to transfer their aggression on poor foreigners.

2- Looting. Watch them loot the whole shops they complained of selling poisoned goods. Comedic cheesy

Whenever something happens in South Africa, it's always seen as a foreigner trying to destroy their country, instead of the real issue.

Fine, a kid died of food poisoning, so why not treat it as a food poisoning issue instead of making it a foreigner issue? There are laws in the country if such things happen so why is it a foreigner this, foreigner that? This could also happen to a South African business, so why foreigner noise all the time?

The fact is that these people are just too xenophobic, especially to their fellow Africans.
