Foreign spaza shop owners face possible new by-laws

Foreigners who own spaza shops and other businesses may soon be subject to by-laws that could be stricter than their South African counterparts.

In the ANC’s peace and stability policy discussion document, the ruling party says that non-South Africans should not run spaza shops without complying with certain legislative prescripts which may or may not apply to South Africans.

The proposal came after attacks on foreign shop owners from mostly Somalia and Pakistan.
