South Africans Warn Xenophobia Is Hurting Taxi Trade and Local Businesses

In a surprising turn of events, some South Africans have openly challenged anti-foreigner campaigners, arguing that xenophobic actions are negatively affecting local businesses and the taxi industry.

Community members expressed concerns that the departure of many foreign nationals has reduced customer numbers in townships and urban centers. According to residents, foreign-owned businesses, workers, and customers have long contributed to daily economic activity, particularly within the informal sector.

Several speakers claimed that taxi operators are now feeling the impact as fewer people travel for work, shopping, and trade. They warned that continued hostility toward migrants could further weaken already struggling local economies.

The debate highlights the growing tension between concerns over immigration and the economic realities facing communities. While opinions remain divided, many are calling for solutions that promote both social stability and economic growth rather than division.

As discussions continue across South Africa, the issue has sparked fresh conversations about the role migrants play in supporting local businesses and sustaining the informal economy.
Let's Discuss About This.

One side is saying, some foreigners do bad things and others deny SA indigenes jobs so all must go, the other side is saying there is a sudden void when all foreigner are chased out. A void that they need to be closed ASAP and foreigners should close that void.

This is exactly the same thing that will happen to Yorubas that have doing their Xenophobic in their region by asking Igbos to leave because the day Igbos will leave not only Lagos but the rest of Yoruba States they will eventually regret it.
Take for instance how Lagos got deserted during Christmas festival and New Year entire Lagos becomes ghost land then you can imagine when Igbos leave completely.

Re: South Africans Blame Xenophobia For Taxi Business Collapse by chiedu7: 6:30pm On Jun 16
South Africa your problems are spiritual, you have reaped what you sowed.

The only living God, the God of the Bible said bless Israel and ur blessed; Curse Israel and ur cursed.


Gen 12:3
And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

South Africa cursed Israel, so the curse of God hit South Africa.
South Africa joined the world to curse & ostracized Israel.
Now Nigeria joins the whole Africa to curse & ostracized South Africa.

South Africa sowed curses, they are reaping cursess. grin

This is God's wrath angry

No other god can withstand the God the bible.

He closes a door that no-one can open.
He opens a door that no man can close.

Thats the God the bible, FEAR HIM angry

Re: South Africans Blame Xenophobia For Taxi Business Collapse by deebrain(m): 6:32pm On Jun 16
They have not started regretting it.

Stupid and ugly set of people.

The year 1975, the African Union was gearing up for war against Apartheid controlled South Africa.

Good thing, some member states started going against it so it did not formally have a wide scale military force.

Nigeria, especially our government then and the entertainment industry pushed and pushed for the end of Apartheid.

Now see.

Let them get their stupid country working. Lazy set of people.

Story story.

They don't regret anything.

The news is fake. South Africans are happy that other people are leaving. STOP speaking for them. They didn't beg you.

Rubbish.
