@_mayibuye_: 🚨👀 Important Community Update! 👀🚨 ‼️ Do you know what's been happening behind the scenes with our local spaza shops? While other municipalities are taking decisive action, we're being held back deliberately! 😡‼️📢 Despite a pending request for over six months, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality EDTA Portfolio Committee, led by Cllr Bassie Kamana, has yet to approve a request for the municipality to issue conditional permits for South African entrepreneurs. These permits are crucial for accessing vital grant funding from the Department of Small Business Development, allowing us to establish our own spaza shops! 🚫 Meanwhile, foreign-owned shops continue to operate without the necessary permits. Is it fair that our local small businesses face hurdles while non-compliant shops thrive? 🤔🌍 Before pointing fingers at Somalians and Pakistanis, let's hold our municipality accountable! It's time to demand answers and action. Share this message and let's make our voices heard! 🗣️💬
