Wetin consine them. They have been telling you that its all immigrants they want out and you have not been listening.

sleeknaija:
They want all immigrants out so that they can reap from where they didn't sow?

Looting and benefiting from the business they didn't create or have financial inputs.

South Africans only, not entire Africa

correctguy101:
Call them by what they are. These are all South Africans. Or has such happened everywhere in Africa?

Pacesetter123:
Enough of this hasty generalization!
Enough!!!
Speak directly to the culprits.
Say, there's something wrong with an average South African man and not "African man".
The emphasis should be on "South African Man".

A viral video is making the rounds, showing a group of young South African men chilling inside a township spaza shop — an informal corner store — after locals reportedly seized it from its immigrant owner.

In the clip, they are seen relaxing, smoking hookah, eating snacks, drinking, and filming the entire moment. One man in a white bucket hat speaks directly to the camera, appearing to claim ownership of the shop.

The footage has stirred fresh debate about South Africa’s deep frustrations with immigrant-run businesses, especially spaza shops owned by migrants from countries such as Nigeria, Somalia, and Ethiopia. Some locals argue that foreigners have crowded out opportunities and are affecting the township economy. Critics, however, describe such takeovers as outright looting and xenophobic vigilantism.

The shop already appears almost empty, raising questions about whether those who took over the business have the knowledge or know-how to run it profitably. Instead, it now looks more like a place where people are simply enjoying the moment, with no clear long-term plan to operate, grow, or make the business successful. The shop appears to be heading in the wrong direction.

At its core, the incident points to bigger issues, including high unemployment, economic desperation, and growing anti-foreigner sentiment in some communities.
