The Democratic Alliance said they
are concerned about the Business Licensing Bill that Minister of Trade and
Industry Rob Davies gazetted before Parliament recently.
The party believes the bill will
have a negative impact on the on job creation in the small business sector.
DA Deputy Minister of Trade and
Industry Geordin Hill-Lewis said jobs will be
destroyed and so will our economy by the new bill.
“The bill makes
it very difficult for small entrepreneurs, street vendors and hawkers to do their
business; but gives great power to the police and the metro police to abuse
their power,to ask for bribes and treat business owners unfairly that is why we
do not like this bill” Hill-Lweis added.
Hill-Lewis also
said that they will oppose the bill in parliament.
