South African township economies emerged as a resilient response to apartheid-era forced removals, with communities developing their own economic systems including spaza shops, taxi industries, and various service businesses to sustain themselves despite systemic oppression and lack of infrastructure.

π₯ TITLE:30 JUNE: WE ARE JOINING HISTORY! πΏπ¦π₯Added:
You know, let me give you a little bit of history about township economy and on the back of the 30th of June, which I support March and March and I support Zoro and I support Justinta Manor Zuma and I'm grateful to everybody who's making a a stand against this. You know, the white regime, the evil regime that initiated a partate sent to live on the fringes and the outskirts of the major cities. A disgrace, the most heinous atrocity against humankind in modern history. It was absolutely aborant.
And there's a lot that needs to be done to correct those wrongs.
Where our people went into the townships, forced out by my forefathers or great forefathers, people had to make a life for themselves. And so they built their own economy. people started because transport was so expensive and because there was no infrastructure. Our people who were living in those areas and still are built their own economy. They the spasa shop was born out of that era and continues to thrive today. the taverns, the shabines, the plumbers, the electricians, the engineers, the contractors, they had to, our people had to find their own way to sustain themselves in what these absolute evil people did to our people.
And I'm talking about our evil apartate regime. So our people have built our township economies because and you can argue until the cows come home. Our people have in South Africa have an enormous entrepreneurial spirit and are arguably the best entrepreneurs in the world. And I'm not talking about people who build corporates. I'm talking about people who build and sustain industry in the townships that sustain the the people who live there.
The taxi industry was born out of this.
It revolutionized transport and our people are entrepreneurs and our people work. And for these illegal immigrants to say South Africans are lazy, go back in time and have a look and see what our people have built.
And you you you have to understand that that belongs to us, our people, our South African people who have suffered through decades of abuse, who have suffered through decades of absolute oppression that that you illegal immigrants will probably never understand. And now you have the absolute cheek to come onto our shores and take over Spasa shops and to take Spaza shops and threaten our people often with violence.
It's a disgrace that belongs to us to our people the people who built it and the people who own it and well done to our people. So for you illegal immigrants to come here and open spasa shops and to manufacture, many of you fake product and sell expired product and product that in many cases makes our people and children sick is a disgrace.
And for you to stand in in this country and tell us that you are here to stay and that you've got rights, you don't have rights.
You are a visitor in our country and that's all you are is a visitor and as a visitor you're welcome.
When your visitors permit, visa, pink slip, whatever you want to call it, expires, go home and that's what you should be doing. We welcome tourists. We love tourists. We love building our economy. We love people to come and enjoy South Africa. But we don't want people to come and enjoy South Africa and then make it their home illegally and then tell us that they want SASA and they're going to overthrow the the the the government and they're going to try this and they're going to do that and that we we should be scared of them. Who do you think you are?
You come in here where our people fought for decades for freedom and democracy and they won it without violence.
And you come here to enjoy that where our people suffered in many cases our people died. Our people were in prison for nearly three decades because that is what the evil regime did. They put they put the people who fought apartate into prison and our people suffered for that.
People missed most of their adult lives because they were in prison because of the beliefs that they had that South Africa should be free and democratized and so it should and it is. And it's not for you illegal immigrants to come here and enjoy what our people have fought for all this time. You can't do that.
It's unacceptable. And you come onto our shores and demand that you have a house and you have medical and all these benefits. You're not a citizen. You don't deserve these benefits. If you're a documented foreigner, yes, different story. But you, many are undocumented. Many come here and feed drugs to our children.
And you think it's okay. It's not okay.
And the time has come where you need to go back home and fight for your country the same way our people fought for our country because they have fought. Many died.
So don't demand. You you you're in no position to demand.
And yes, you can see me and say you can I don't care. I don't care what you think. Go home. I'm talking to illegal immigrants and I'm appealing to South Africa to support those who are trying to free our country.
Viva Zoso, my king. Viva Jasentin Mangoes Zuma, my queen, we love you. We thank you for what you're doing for us.
Peace South Africa.
