Serious questions remain about the employment of undocumented foreign nationals in a sector that requires no scarce-skill exemption. At the same time, e-hailing drivers are controlled by platforms, charged heavy commissions and exposed to daily risks, yet conveniently classified as independent contractors when they demand basic worker protections.
The ATM has called on Parliament to investigate and regulate the sector. An app cannot be used to bypass immigration laws, exploit workers and avoid employer responsibilities.

Africans who are always preaching Pan Africanism and "One Africa," now is the time to show that support, not only when you're criticizing South Africans. This is a cause worth fighting for.
Minister of Home Affairs admits they don't know how many MPs and members of the executive hold dual citizenship! This is shocking . What kind of country allows such important information to be unknown?? Why is the media silent about this HUGE threat to national security?? Holding office while you have dual citizenship is allowed in the constitution but how can we NOT KNOW the numbers?
She is not the only one.
There's James Chapman from Zimbabwe who serves on the same board which advises the minister of home affairs and work for a foreign funded NGO which regularly takes DHA to court
One day I posed as undocumented foreign national and went to Home Affairs office in Harrison Street, Johannesburg and bought myself a South African Identity Document for just R300.
@Matome_Kay@Rowiaza Apparently Nigerians in Lagos have grown tired of Nigerians from outside that city and are frog marching them out of Lagos. All the while a Nigerian journalist was discussing pan Africanism with a Cabinet minister something she’s never done in her country
OWN SPAZA SHOP initiative
YES! When we OWN OUR SPAZA shops it also means that we open the market for black manufacturers to supply us with their products.
When we say we OWN SPAZA shops we don’t mean just consuming, we will OWN THE WHOLE VALUE CHAIN.

Thank you, South Africa, Thank ypu March and March! 🇿🇦 Your relentless marching is paying off. It is late at night, and the Department of Home Affairs is out here conducting checks.
Make no mistake—the pressure you are applying is being felt! Keep it up.
South Africa. When are you going to wake up. Every man for himself. Don’t let South African leaders lie to you. African countries have laws that put their people first. We have to share the little that we have all in the name of pan-Africanism. Why must pan-Africanism start and end in South Africa?
Under Statutory Instrument 215 of 2025, which took effect in December 2025, Zimbabwe implemented a sweeping economic policy reserving key sectors exclusively for indigenous citizens and imposing strict new conditions on foreign investors . Under this law, foreign participation is prohibited entirely in sectors including bakeries, artisanal mining, barbershops, beauty salons, advertising agencies, employment agencies, and pharmaceutical retailing . Where foreign investors are permitted in certain reserved sectors such as retail and wholesale trade, they must now meet a **minimum investment threshold of US25 million and 50 employees, while haulage and logistics demand US$10 million and 100 workers .
Existing foreign-owned businesses already operating in reserved sectors have three years to divest 75% of their equity to Zimbabwean citizens, with mandatory annual transfers of at least 25% per year, leaving foreign owners with no more than 25% shareholding . Failure to comply is a criminal offence carrying fines or imprisonment, with repeat offenders barred from government contracts for five years . The immediate impact has been severe: ZIDA reported a near 60% decline in projected new investment value, falling from US1.92 billion in Q1 2026, with new licences dropping from 214 to 146 over the same period .
We are eating 🥣 💩 while the government is still protecting them. This is their manufacturing and distributing process right in our country; the poisoned food comes from their hands, feeding us kak and killing us softly.
We can’t open our spaza shops and still buy this nonsense.
Thank you South Africa for trusting us to be your voice. Your support reminds us that patriotism is actionand together we’re proving that citizens can drive change.
