On July 20, a tweet from Nkululeko Mbundu, a member of ActionSA and City of Johannesburg’s member of mayoral committee for economic development became the backdrop to the end of an era

The department of economic development has been clamping down on informal traders throughout 2022, as a means to eradicate illegal trading, as well as to lessen the economic load of illegal settlers making money illegally.

I remember making my quarterly trip to the madunusa to buy an almost entirely new wardrobe for under R1 000. Proudly, I would tell people who asked me where I had bought my clothes: “I got this shirt from madunusa, it was only R5.” With prices so low, it almost felt like the madunusa was a place of neutral ground, where there was enough for everyone, rich and poor, where aesthetics converged and where icons were made.

Unfortunately, the reality for most informal traders is one that is bleak, as many of them have immigrated to SA illegally, and have since been trading informally to make ends meet. Photo: Twitter
