Foreign spazashops is a market for illegal cigarettes.

Today I realised that all Tuckshops owned by foreigners are still closed.

I went to Spazashops owned by South Africans, they're only selling American Tobacco cigarette that is legal.

Now it makes sense why Julius Malema encouraged South Africans not fight for Spazashops, Mazzotti is going to be broke.

AN ILLEGAL ZIMBABWEAN NATIONAL SENTENCED TO 131 YEARS' IMPRISONMENT |

The Pretoria North Magistrates' Court has sentenced a rapist, Dorosi Bande (27), Zimbabwean national, to 131 years' direct imprisonment for multiple offences, including housebreaking, robbery with aggravating circumstances, rape, unlawful possession of a firearm, and contravention of immigration laws.

Bande was sentenced as follows:14 years' direct imprisonment for two counts of housebreaking with intent to steal and theft;32 years' direct imprisonment for four counts of housebreaking;60 years' direct imprisonment for four counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances;25 years' direct imprisonment for two counts of rape;15 years' direct imprisonment for possession of an unlicensed firearm; and Two years' direct imprisonment for being illegally in the country. The court ordered that some of the sentences run concurrently, resulting in an effective sentence of 131 years' direct imprisonment. The court further ordered that Bande be deported to his country of birth upon completion of his sentence and declared him unfit to possess a firearm.

Between July 2018 and March 2021, Bande employed the same modus operandi, breaking into victims' homes during the day or at night and robbing them at gunpoint in the Pretoria North area. Over this period, he targeted 10 households and raped two women aged 52 and 32. In one incident, Bande broke into the home of a 52-year-old woman in Pretoria North and raped her in the presence of her husband. In a separate incident, he raped a 32-year-old woman in her home. His crime spree came to an end on 12 March 2021, when police acted on information that he was selling stolen goods under a railway bridge in Pretoria North. Upon arrival, police found and arrested him.

Throughout the trial, Bande pleaded not guilty and denied committing the offences. However, State Prosecutor Hanlie du Preez presented compelling evidence, including testimony from the victims, which proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. During sentencing proceedings, Bande conducted his own defence and requested a lenient sentence, stating that he wished to return home and care for his family. In response, Du Preez argued that Bande had committed numerous serious offences over four years in the same community he had terrorised. She further submitted that he had shown no remorse, that his actions were driven by greed, and that he specifically targeted victims in the safety of their own homes while unlawfully residing in South Africa.

Du Preez also presented a Victim Impact Statement (VIS) facilitated by Court Preparation Officer Maano Magondo. In the statement, the wife of one of the victims explained that her husband suffered a stroke following the incident and has since lost the ability to speak. She further described the lasting mental, emotional, and financial impact the crimes have had on their family.

In imposing sentence, Magistrate Pieter Nel agreed with the State that Bande had shown no remorse and had been convicted of serious offences that remain prevalent within the court's jurisdiction. The magistrate described Bande's conduct as "monstrous" and emphasised that society expects courts to impose severe sentences to send a strong deterrent message to offenders and would-be offenders. The court consequently found no substantial and compelling circumstances warranting a deviation from the prescribed minimum sentences.

The Muslim community in South Africa needs to make an effort to assimilate and be patriotic.

So far we only see them hiding behind NGOs to act against South Africans.

Recently they are not even hiding in the background, they are openly working against us.

From 1 October, employers caught hiring illegal workers as food delivery drivers or construction workers will face fines of up to £60,000 per illegal worker or five years in prison.

Gig economy employers will be legally required to ensure Right to Work checks are undertaken.

Kahle kahle, y’all don’t seem to understand that the entire informal sector must be owned by South Africans only. Foreigners can go and run the informal sector in their own countries.
Whether you have papers or not, you cannot open a tuck shop, salon, or any other informal business here.

[MUST READ]

For nearly a year, the @PublicProtector office has found time for legal threats, and lectures to South Africans about what can and cannot be said about her office.

What it apparently hasn't found time for is concluding the ATM's complaint against former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. The same office that moves at lightning speed when responding to criticism has somehow taken 359 days to deal with a complaint that the law envisages should be handled within 30 days. Interesting priorities.
