The increasing scourge of poisonings due to counterfeit goods allegedly bought at spaza shops unlawfully owned by illegal immigrants has brought into sharp focus the need for this sector to be placed under greater regulation and oversight.

South Africa’s township economy is in dire need of reform. The #Spaza4Locals Campaign aims to transform township economies by empowering South African entrepreneurs, tightening regulations, and purging illegal trade. With R200 billion in economic activity at stake, we are driving amendments to the Township Economy By-Laws to secure ownership for South Africans to ensure financial returns stay within our borders.
We stand with South African Entrepreneurs
The #Spaza4Locals Campaign is a call to arms for fundamental economic change in our township economies. Our amendments to the Township Economy By-Laws will empower South Africans to reclaim their financial futures, combat the exploitation by criminal syndicates, and foster vibrant local economies.
#Spaza4Locals Reserved Sectors Bill is not merely a policy proposal—it is a mission to create a fair, prosperous South Africa where township businesses Put South Africans First. Every responsible government must prioritise its citizens!
