Feelings on local spaza shop

With the spotlight firmly placed on spaza shops and their ownership, People’s Post spoke to some residents to get their thoughts and feelings about having them in their communities.

Agnes Daames said: “It is very taxing, especially if you are in a home where the income is not so great and also if you are a pensioner. Most owners of spaza shops are foreigners who just come to enrich themselves in our country. Recently, someone had to pay R5 extra. They don’t pay tax in our country, we already pay tax, then we still get taxed by them too. I feel this is not on.”
