[00:00:42]>> The Ethopians when they come here they don't bring women. The Pakistanis, the Somalians, the Nigerians, none of them bring women here.

[00:00:52]The children that will be born here.

[00:00:55]The K belongs to the colored people.

[00:00:57]Abahham because go back to the Eastern Cape.

[00:01:02]Then all our colored people. Oh Nelson Mandela, come and look at your children and what they are doing. It is so disgraceful. These people I'm sure they are government officials. Now government officials are going around closing people's shops and giving the shops to their people. That's South Africans.

[00:01:23]Like how? This is not the boys that we even see. These are like authorities.

[00:01:28]I'm very sure they are probably part of one of the government institutions in South Africa. And look at what they are doing. This is crazy. I don't want to talk much. Don't forget to like. Don't forget to subscribe. Let's go into the video. Watch what South Africans have to say and also what these people are doing in South Africa giving foreign businesses to their people like how stay now we're taking over this business we're giving it to you allow Okay.

[00:02:24]What we must do? What type of support can you give them to operate the stock license?

[00:02:52]I want to see. I want to see if this model works.

[00:03:02]Stay.

[00:03:06]Yeah. Stay.

[00:03:08]law is a criminal. This one we're arresting him. He must never operate here. He threatens our people with guns and all that things. He must vacate and then we must then empower you.

[00:03:22]If you >> Okay.

[00:03:34]>> Yeah. Okay. Let's train her and see if she can assume this operation what the next thing there's no discipline. We found people who want papers not even an ID nothing. It shows that these people are doing whatever they want and it's wrong. We are going to fix a lane during our lifetime. The executive mayor of all that he's looking for a clean safe making sure that if you open your shop you have your [music] correct papers of yourself.

[00:04:17]>> One of the things that we must check now is where do they get the money the capital come to me come to me where are your papers first. You don't have closing the shop. Amen. Please just register his name and everything, but the shop is closed. He's not coming back. Thank you. Next shop. Why are you doing what you're doing? Do I do this?

[00:04:58]No, don't do it.

[00:04:59]>> No. C. Let's close here.

[00:05:14]Where are the papers?

[00:05:17]Yeah. Where you hiding? Where are the papers?

[00:05:26]But everything you can but you can't run a business.

[00:05:38]You can work but you can't run a business. So like give us give us your >> So you have nothing.

[00:05:49]This is this is just only your paper.

[00:05:51]You have nothing.

[00:05:54]>> What? I can work. He's not working. He's running a >> working. I have >> Who the boss?

[00:05:59]>> Boss is not going Bangladesh.

[00:06:01]>> Bangladesh. You in Bangladesh Bangladesh in this place.

[00:06:06]>> What the name of the boss?

[00:06:07]>> His name is Join.

[00:06:09]>> Join. Tell him join. The shop is closed.

[00:06:12]>> You sleep here?

[00:06:15]>> And the groceries are here where you sleep. No, >> but you guys are killing our people, man.

[00:06:19]>> Who are you sleeping with here? There are two beds here.

[00:06:22]>> Come see here.

[00:06:25]>> You sleep here.

[00:06:27]>> You sell things to our people.

[00:06:29]>> There's a bed here.

[00:06:31]>> They cook you everything here.

[00:06:44]>> You guys are silly.

[00:06:48]that there are about 100 people that have been taken in by police officers um here in in Rockland where we are standing actually as just outside of the uh Petala stadium which is one of Bloom Fontain's landmarks. Uh the bottle store is situated right next to that stadium and from what we understand the bottle store is actually owned and managed by A CHINESE NATIONAL ONE OF THE SHOPS THAT WERE LOOTED around here. But from what we understanding from community members that are actually standing by the side of the road is that um these uh alleged lootings actually started in the early hours this morning around 4:00. That's when they started.

[00:07:33]>> Difficult not to think that the government are actually supporting this movement because there's been a lot of looting going on when it's involving black people invol involving black business and most of the time the cops will be right beside them and the cops doesn't do nothing. So it's involving a Chinese person, a white Well, they're not white, but involving a Chinese person. I'm so surprised that they actually arresting South Africans. So that's to tell how low even the the law system in South Africa think of black people. It's so it's so shameful that oh you can actually do this. I I thought maybe you are actually protecting your citizen, but no, it shows that people know who you are respecting. But this is sad. is the sad reality of how you actually think of yourself. Because if you actually look at your brother and you think low of them, that is actually telling how you think of yourself.

[00:08:18]>> It's just a reflection of yourself, of your thought. When you think that a black person is not capable of doing something great, that's yourself that you you limit yourself that you can't do anything great. Like I've said before, this is just a reflection of your inferior incomplex. That's why you actually only chasing after this black black people thinking that oh, they're not better because you feel like you're not better.

[00:08:39]is shameful but we need to educate our mind and liberate our spirits but sad thing that uh we can't actually treat ourselves with love let's learn to love oursel and we can learn to love our fellow brothers from Nigeria >> yes from >> yes >> okay so do you have papers to be here in South Africa >> yes I have my ID >> you have your ID >> yes no how did you get the ID >> I got my ID from from home affairs guys. Sir, where did you get the ID?

[00:09:12]When was it?

[00:09:14]>> Uh, since >> uh 2005.

[00:09:16]>> It was 2005.

[00:09:18]>> You came to South Africa to do what?

[00:09:20]>> Uh, I came to South.

[00:09:23]>> What is the main reason for you to come to South Africa?

[00:09:26]>> Uh, I came to South Africa for because there was a war in South in Nigeria.

[00:09:33]>> No, no, no. You came as a refugee.

[00:09:36]So what are you doing now for living in South Africa?

[00:09:39]>> Sorry.

[00:09:39]>> What are you doing now for living here in South Africa?

[00:09:42]>> I'm employing the South Africa.

[00:09:44]>> What are you doing? Are you the one who's running the kawash?

[00:09:47]>> No. Look, look sir, just to be gentle because I'm an old man. We are here to tell you according to immigration act 2002 section 13 15 and 19 you are not allowed to operate any kind of business up not unless you have a minimum investment of 5 million rand and above.

[00:10:06]It's either you invest to the exist business or to the new one who register with CIPC with revenue and home affairs.

[00:10:13]You must apply for a business gift. You are not allowed to operate in informal setting such as kawash. So now we are not asking you. You have to close this car wash. Now it belongs to South Africa.

[00:10:27]>> Are we together?

[00:10:28]>> No. I'm saying to you for the investment of this car wash is more than 5 million.

[00:10:34]>> No no no no no.

[00:10:37]>> Local business not not >> you can't invest you can't invest in such business. It's not for it's it's an informal trading. The informal is a benefit of the South Africans. No, no, no, no, no. We are not going to delay because we're going to >> stop supporting their businesses.

[00:10:56]>> You see them laughing at you when you are coming.

[00:11:01]That's how that's how they think of us.

[00:11:03]They think of us as a Jew because we take our money and we give it to them. They take their money, they send it to Somalia and Ethiopia.

[00:11:13]And then you cry that the economy is not growing. How is the economy going to grow if Somali that belongs to this country is in Somalia?

[00:11:23]>> Do not go to their tops >> because people are dying there. They starting this father market killing South Africans because they want to dominate that market. They want your money. Hey, the Ethiopians when they come here, they don't bring women. The Pakistanis, the Somalian, the Nigerians, none of them bring women here.

[00:12:03]The children that will be born here in the next 10 years will be not B. They won't be vendor.

[00:12:12]They won't be Basutu or Tonga or Swati or Zulu. There'll be something else. You have colonized the country. You have turned it upside down. It is not. Now no one can now takes us back. No one can now lay claim >> of the country >> of the country. That's the plan. That is why it is very difficult for you to date a Jewish woman. [clears throat] [laughter] >> They might even the extremists >> they might even kill the woman.

[00:12:47]>> Yeah.

[00:12:47]>> Right. Because you are diluting.

[00:12:52]You go everywhere in the world in Argentina, they are skeptical about the dilution. You go to Russia itself, they don't want their women getting pregnant from outside people. They understand the importance of this thing.

[00:13:08]But when IT COMES HERE, WE ARE told that it doesn't matter. What do you mean it doesn't matter? What do you mean?

[00:13:15][clears throat] It matters. Sorry guys, the cape belongs to the colored people that cause us go back to the Eastern Cape. Then all our colored people, brown people and white people that stays in Cape Town will have work. Go back to the Eastern Cape. Go build your country in the Eastern Cape.

[00:13:40]Engage. And I hope you're going to get that right.

[00:13:42]>> What happened to you? I can see some visions on your face. Yeah, that was >> that was last week last week Sunday. I'm in the work and that's that guys came there and they said everyone must leave the shop. So I'm taking my bag and I want to go home and the four guys change save me to be frank. They beat me a lot.

[00:14:05]They beat me. I have more pictures in my phone.

[00:14:09]They hit they take the stone they take the stick and the knife. My hands is they cut my hands. So they beat me a lot.

[00:14:21]>> So South Africa ask us.

[00:14:23]>> No wait. It's connected here.

[00:14:26]Restart >> to protect and respect.

[00:14:29]>> Restart. Restart.

[00:14:30]>> Leave me alone.

[00:14:31]>> It's here. It's here. The mic.

[00:14:34]>> I don't need the mic. Disconnect it.

[00:14:40]>> [snorts] >> to respect and protect the the law of the land.

[00:14:45]Then they come into my home looking for somebody.

[00:14:53]They are looking for somebody shooting.

[00:14:55]It's a wrong address that they they they can't even talk.

[00:15:02]It's a wrong address.

[00:15:04]I hear from my neighbors that my house have been broke in.

[00:15:08]cuz they know the type of work I do and we have an idea of who they're looking for cuz I have a neighbor.

[00:15:19]The thing is that he get arrested, he gets out. So we never know what what's going to happen.

[00:15:28]You understand? So they break in. You can see after they break in, they were searching for something. And as soon as they find my piggy bank, I have one with notes and I have one with coins.

[00:15:47]Two years of savings.

[00:15:49]They proceed to leave the one with coins and they have emptied up my piggy bank. There is literally nothing.

[00:16:01]I have a video of me confronting them because they were still here by the time I arrived.

[00:16:07]>> They even took this one.

[00:16:09]>> I have a video. I confronted them.

[00:16:18]>> Now we are taking over that. So when we when we were telling them it's not wise to build in a foreign land, they thought it's a joke. Yes. Go to other countries because we do have got South Africans that are in other countries legally. You won't see them forming organizations or or or in those countries and taking governments of those countries to court.

[00:16:36]South Africans are well behaved people globally. You won't see South Africans flooding foreign prisons where they are expecting citizens of those countries to feed them like we are doing in South Africa. Now Nigeria you won't find even 10 South Africans in their prison. But now we've got thousands of them in our prisons and the taxpayer is is forced to feed them.

[00:16:58]>> There's another clip I saw. That's how I knew, forgive my language, maybe blip this out. I was like, this stupidity has gone to another level. They collected these other foreigners, the Pakistanis, the Indians, the whites who had businesses and told them, "You need to fire the illegal immigrants that you're hiring, or you need to fire the black people that are not South Africans." Do you know how much hatred you have to have for your fellow black brother and sister to say, "I don't want you anywhere. I don't want you eating anything." And this the thing we keep seeing on social media and Twitter and whatnot, we keep seeing, oh, they're taking our jobs. They're taking this away from us. Okay, fine. You sent that woman selling the tomatoes away. You go and sell the tomatoes. Are they going to do Are they going to do that [clears throat] job?

[00:17:36]>> It's just like I it doesn't make sense.

[00:17:38]Okay, they're taking all these jobs away. But like honestly very disappointed in xenophobic South Africans because not all of them are actually in support of this. And the guy who is leading this whole campaign is streaming. He's making money from all the stupidity that's going around.

[00:17:53]>> Okay.

[00:17:53]>> The Zulu guy. the Zulu guy with the band who who goes all traditional, you know, he's fighting for his people, but he's streaming. He's making money off all these, you know, all the people who are running around and beating fellow fellow black people. He's making money off that. They're making money off your stupidity. I'm sorry if you're joining in this um riots and whatnot. They're making money off you as you're there trying to say, "Oh, yeah, let them give us back our jobs and whatnot." Someone is out there seeing this as a content opportunity and they're deciding to exploit that. That's that's the thing that I don't understand on why you as a a South African would partake in something like that when there's a better way to go around it.

[00:18:34]>> Cannot stay silent. Not this time because today it's foreigners. Tomorrow it will be someone else.

[00:18:40]>> People who are legally in this country are being threatened, attacked, driven from their homes and watching their businesses and homes being looted and too many people are looking away. South Africans know what it feels like when people are judged not as individuals but by a group. We know what exclusion feels like. We know what fear feels like. That is why we cannot become the very thing that we once stood against. You don't have to agree on immigration policy. You don't have to agree on politics. But if you believe that innocent people should be attacked because where they came from, then something has gone terribly wrong, a community loses its soul when good people stop speaking, [snorts] when violence becomes normal, when intimidation becomes acceptable, when fear becomes a tool. We are better than this. We must be better than this because the moment we justify violence against innocent people, we stop defending our community and we start destroying it >> on our uh fellow South Africans who are owning businesses uh especially the white community, the Indian community and the Islam community or the Muslim community. I don't know how it's called.

[00:20:01]We are we are pleading with them. White people are part of this country. Indians are part of this country. The problems that we are facing in Phoenix, Indian kids are on drugs. If you go to the clubs there in the night, you can see even the the um uh the children of pastors, children of top uh people in in in in big towns, they are also in drugs.

[00:20:24]If you go to here, nobody everybody's affected with this situation that is going on in the country. So that's why and also if white people and Indians and Muslim community get involved in this fixing of this country, they are also protecting their businesses because if we are seen as one, people of South Africa would understand that this fight is directed to the government. It is not a fight actually. It is a warning to the government to say government please fix this. Apply these laws, apply this um um laws of the country. Emphasize to every peace officer and police and soldier to keep his own and and and look after the country because and undermine ourselves.

[00:21:16]What made me take a few steps back was simply because when I was advocating for operation to it was [music] simple. We the institution the movement was fighting against undocumented foreigners committing crime in our country because they we can't hold them accountable and it's just too much. The stats say it is not my opinion.

[00:21:41]And when it moved to [music] we are now fighting all foreigners, I said meeting I'm not going to be part of nonsense cuz if you're fighting all foreigners, you're talking nonsense and it's not not subjected to only Africans being foreigners. I mean even you speak about UK, Europe, you speak about the West, America and so forth and Asia, they're all foreigners. So there's no way that you can isolate yourself from the world.

[00:22:06]If you say you are fighting all foreigners, that means you are also suggesting all embassies in South Africa must close down immediately. In fact, people must go home and all our ambassadors across the the world must shut must must close office and come back because we are fighting all foreigners. Not like that's not I'm not going to allow that. And what's the people that are suffering the most happen to be African foreigners by definition because they are the closest to home. You don't find a Chinese guy chilling in Tisa. You find a Muslim beacon and you find >> [music] >> and so forth chilling there. So as soon as you introduce that culture and and you condition our people to saying to hell with foreigners all [music] of them then we are saying that there must be a battle in our townships there must be fights there must we must kill each other we must talk nonsense about each other and I couldn't stand there and advocate for that nonsense a lot of the people even listening to to this interview now they've never heard me speak of foreigners must all foreigners must go >> you know why we're losing the spa shop business in South Africa This baza shop business is not just about selling goods. It's a war for survival and legacy. Somali entrepreneurs are winning this battle. And here's why. Firstly, they come with a mindset of long-term endurance. I met a Somali bur who worked for 5 years without pay also owned a shop eventually. He he owns it now. Most South Africans wouldn't dare because we don't have that kind of backup. We want the money now. Secondly, Somali communities operate like a welloiled machine. They pull the money together, share business skills and back each other fully. Many locals like that kind of structured support.

[00:23:52]Third, they are adaptable and strategic.

[00:23:55]They know their customers, adjust their stock, and never stop learning. Too many South Africans still run spazers like it's 2009. No innovation, no restocking, no hustle beyond the basics. Lastly, there's discipline. Working long hours, no complaints, no excuses, just pure grind. Meanwhile, some local owners baba frustrated and give up too soon.

[00:24:18]So, if South Africa wants to win the Spaza shop game, we need to stop expecting handouts.

[00:24:25]We need to stop expecting quick fixes.

[00:24:28]It's time to build community support, hustle smarter, and understand that ownership is a marathon, not a sprint.

[00:24:36]Otherwise, we are going to keep losing ground to those who treat the game like a legacy.

[00:24:42]>> Fears still linger in Gani informal settlement in Mosul Bay. Days after a protest against undocumented foreign nationals, two Musmban nationals were killed, over 50 structures were torched and hundreds were receiving help to return home.

[00:25:02]Some junga speaking South Africans say they are also affected.

[00:25:28]understand Displaced resident Ernest Storle says the experience has left deep scars.

[00:26:11]not a South African.

[00:26:14]>> Stor says tensions have been building for weeks with homes believed to belong to foreign nationals allegedly being marked.

[00:26:36]City Home 29.

[00:26:55]29.

[00:27:05]Now, and several other displaced families from are calling on the government to intervene.

[00:27:29]They can they say take as a warning national leadership strongly civil Authorities say the situation is largely under control, but tensions remain high in the community. For Newsroom Africa, Channel 405, I'm Nasip Same in Moscel Bay.

[00:28:06]>> Man, this is crazy. This is crazy. Like, how will you go lock someone shop? No.

[00:28:13]Like I want to ask does the South African constitution or laws state that if you see a foreigner in your country and the foreigner is undocumented you let's say the person is undocumented does it mean and the person is probably running a business does it mean you should close the person's shop and give the person's sweat their business to your people I want to understand cuz this doesn't make sense how how are you giving someone's business to another person to just take over like just like that for why like make it make sense.

[00:28:46]Seriously, you guys are not beating the rumors because these are things that we've heard, we've heard, we've heard and this is a video clearly showing us what you people are doing and it confirms whatever rumors that we've been hearing because it doesn't make sense.

[00:28:59]Imagine and you could see that they going around they are not really doing a thorough search to even see whether this person is a like is legal or is like illegal. They just says things that they want to say. It is their video. So they will say whatever. Oh, you are illegal.

[00:29:15]Close the shop. Do this. Do that. Next shop. Like that. Like that. Like that.

[00:29:18]Like bro, is that how you check people's like documentation or whatever? Oh, nah.

[00:29:23]Chalie chal chalie chalie. South Africa.

[00:29:25]You can do better. You can do better.

[00:29:27]You can do better. This is not nice at all. This is not nice. You see the last video? You heard what the guy was saying. He said he was actually part of the operation doula. But he realized they were trying to say all foreigners must go and that is something that he never supported. So because of that he he just pulled out and that's what they are exactly doing now. It's all foreigners. It's just sad. It is just sad. The South African government quiet.

[00:29:53]They just come and make some speech that that's it. You don't see any proper action. There were some Chinese their shops were looted. That one they have arrested about 10 and something people.

[00:30:03]But when it comes to the Africans, they have not arrested any one person. So the Africans there, but for the Chinese and other people who are no Africans in the dear, we thank you.
