Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Civic group Operation Dudula has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of not prioritising South Africans in relation to the township economy.<\/p>\n

The group said that allowing foreign nationals to register spaza shops in the townships disadvantaged locals.<\/p>\n

Members have been demonstrating against foreign nationals registering their spaza shops in Jabulani, Soweto.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the president announced that spaza shop owners had 21 days to register their shops or face immediate closure.<\/p>\n

Operation Dudula\u2019s president, Zandile Dabula, said the township economy should be reserved only for locals.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, we have a president that chooses to prioritise foreign nationals over his own citizens. I mean he is giving these people 21 days to go and get their documents when they have already broken the law.”<\/p>\n
