Who owns the high end businesses? The whites. So what businesses do the black South Africans own?
GodHimself:
Are the big businesses dying?

He's only pointing out "poor man" driven businesses.

Have the high-end businesses declined?

...where there's a high concentration of tarvens there's always noise, destruction, violence, and public disorder.

In as much as I understand that the owner is only trying to make ends meet and provide for his family, but these tarvens have only caused more harm than good within our society.....
@bolded has defeated your argument bcoz admitting that you understand he's trying to uphold his inherent right to LIFE and livelihood settles our discourse.

One thing y'all south africans fail to address is your govt's inability to govern. Not to digress, it's your local govt's duty and responsibility to regulate and maintain order where these taverns appear to be causing destruction, noise, violence and public disorder.

The leadership of the nation is bereft of ideas on how to make the nation work.. sending out foreigners can be very counter productive to the nation"s economy.. They should have strived to enforce their immigration law to the later rather than employing barbaric approach .In two years time their economy will nosedive
The very visible example is their tourism sector.

Glimpsetv:
In the nighttime video, a South African man walks through the streets while filming and speaking to the camera. He shows various spots to illustrate his point.

He says:
“Business is dying in South Africa. Nobody is making money. Africans have left, and now we have our own businesses. It’s very clean, but it’s also very quiet.”

(Here "Africans" refers to foreign African nationals — immigrants and traders from other African countries such as Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and others who operated businesses, shops, and stalls in the area.)

He points the camera toward a food stall with well-grilled chicken and other meats on display, but notes there are no customers around. He then pans to an empty club area, saying it used to be bubbling and packed at this time, but now it’s completely quiet because the people (foreign Africans) who used to make the place busy have gone.

He continues:
“Around this time on a normal Saturday, you couldn’t even get through this street because it would be packed. But look at it now.”

The man adds that it will even be worse in the coming weeks because more foreigners will leave.


Purpose of the video:

The video is a direct on-the-ground complaint about the economic decline in the area. The man is showing the visible emptiness — quiet streets, idle food vendors with grilled chicken but no buyers, and a once-lively club now deserted — to demonstrate how the departure of foreign African nationals (who drove much of the customer traffic and hustle) has hurt local businesses. He warns that the situation will deteriorate further as more foreigners leave.

Some are actually legal residents. Some are illegal residents but they prefer to take the risk and ride out the protests, coming back home alive and in one piece is never an option to them

Unless you know your history. I suppose everyone is an immigrant, your ancestors didn’t just settle on a land!

Is this Facebook propaganda supposed to stop South Africans from addressing the issue of mass illegal foreigners in their country?
Its entertainment for us now go and fill those farm jobs instead of hanging around here.

So when he's talking about a business dying, he's referring to a tarven being empty? Personally, I wouldn't mind if it closes down, my apologies to the owner.

But this should be good news.
How please? Please enlighten me. I know you are from South Africa, my own knowledge of economics might be different from yours. So I am waiting.
Re: South African Man Laments Businesses Dying After Foreigners Left (photos/video) by Psoul(m): 2:48pm On Jul 22
This same thing may happen to Lagos State if the indigenes continue with their h@tred on the Igbos and the Igbos decide to leave.

You are free to attack me.
Re: South African Man Laments Businesses Dying After Foreigners Left (photos/video) by Samantha125(f): 3:10pm On Jul 22
I've already stated my mind and I'm done, so if you want to argue, find someone else because no amount of argument will make me reconsider my sentiments.

There is a covert movement that is being funded to push anti-immigration movements around western styled democracies and I am not surprised its reached the shores of South Africa.

More are yet to come for South Africa. Come and ask Nigerian when we did Ghana Must Go. What’s the outcome then we know most works are been done by Nigerians then. But now we are forced to learn many work we don’t see as work then. South African’s will soon learn how to do more of business than flexing thy are use to before. God Bless Nigeria
Ghana must go wasn't violent in nature and was done by the Nigerian Government through official government bodies which was carried out orderly! Unlike the barbaric act of these South Africans!
