Olwela amalungelo wakweleSouth Africa umnumnzana Siphiwe Mbatha uthi usizi yikuthi sekusenziwa engathi abokuza akulanto enhle abayenzayo.
“For example uma ubheka kumalokishi wethu kunamashop wamaSomalia, Ethiopia abaphuma phandle kweSouth Africa. For example, angisagibeli ukuya edolobheni. Angisagibeli ukuya emall ukuyothenga kubo Pick n Pay kubo Shoprite. Sengithenga kubo laba omalalaphansi. Langaphakathi kweviki noma phakathi kwenyanga ma ngingena mali bayangikolodisa but angikwazi ukuyokoloda kubo Pick n Pay.”
Kodwake umsekeli kamphathintambo wogatsha lwendaba zasekhaya umnumnzana Njabulo Nzuza utshele iphalamende ukuthi abanxwanelanga abantu bokuza kodwa balwisa ukwephulwa komthetho wokungena elizweni.
