The African National Congress (ANC) has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the spaza shop sector for South Africans and enforcing stricter regulations against foreign nationals operating unlawfully. This stance was emphasized by Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula during a press briefing at Luthuli House in Johannesburg on Friday.

Mbalula highlighted the ANC’s intent to clamp down on illegal spaza shop operations, particularly those run by undocumented foreign nationals. “The spaza shops that do not comply within the president’s prescribed time frame must cease operations or face the law. We cannot stand by while our youth suffer and the local economy deteriorates due to unchecked activities,” he said.

He underscored the importance of protecting the local economy and ensuring that entrepreneurial opportunities benefit South Africans. “South Africans must have jobs, and we must work together to eliminate these illegal operations. As we act now, unlawful spaza shops, especially those run by foreign nationals, must be shut down. Those found in violation must face immediate deportation,” Mbalula added.

The Secretary-General also acknowledged the role of some South Africans in facilitating illegal operations. He cited instances where individuals, including government officials, have assisted foreign nationals in acquiring legal documentation to operate businesses unlawfully. “We know that South Africans have enabled these criminal activities, even within government. This cannot continue,” he stated.

Reaffirming the ANC’s position, Mbalula reiterated that spaza shops and other small businesses should be reserved for South Africans. “We believe spaza shops and other small enterprises should remain for South Africans going forward,” he concluded.

The ANC’s strict stance aligns with broader efforts to regulate informal trade and restore order in local communities. However, the policy has faced criticism from some quarters, with concerns about potential xenophobia and its impact on social cohesion. Despite the ongoing debate, the ANC insists that enforcing the law is essential to protecting South African jobs and stabilizing the local economy.
