ActionSA is outraged by the recent act of criminality in White City Jabavu, Soweto, where a foreign national, allegedly using an illegal firearm, has been implicated in the shooting of a South African man. This tragic incident highlights the ongoing issues of unregulated and unlawful activities related to foreign-owned spaza shops in our communities.
ActionSA unequivocally condemns this senseless shooting and calls for immediate action to ensure the safety and well-being of all South Africans. We demand an urgent audit and inspection of spaza shops across Soweto, to be spearheaded by the Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) of Health and Social Development in the City of Johannesburg. This operation must be a joint effort involving the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD), the South African Police Service (SAPS), and other relevant departments to ensure a thorough and effective inspections.
Furthermore, ActionSA urges the Minister of Home Affairs, Dr. Leon Schreiber, to conduct a comprehensive audit of citizenship in South Africa and to standardize immigration enforcement raids across the country. These measures are essential to protect our communities from the devastating impact of illegal immigration, which has led to the proliferation of unregistered and illegal businesses, posing a significant threat to the health, safety, and livelihoods of South Africans.
We believe that the township economy should be owned and driven by local residents, and we therefore call for a total reform of spaza shop ownership. Empowering local entrepreneurs is essential for the sustainable development and economic prosperity of our communities, which is the core message of our #Spaza4Locals campaign, led by ActionSA Member of Parliament, Lerato Ngobeni MP.
The outcry and death of South Africans, particularly in our townships, have been left unattended for too long. From children being poisoned by expired and hazardous goods to the killing of innocent citizens, these heinous acts must be addressed with urgency and resolve. ActionSA stands with the communities of Soweto and all affected areas, and we will continue to advocate for justice, safety, and accountability.
