"I arrived here at 4am and there were already hundreds of people waiting in the queue. I had problem with the law enforcers who told me that my permits were fake. When I went to apply for permit two weeks ago in Braamfontein, Johannesburg I was given copies. I have been told that I need to get original copies," he said.Maria Malope, 42, who sells fruit and vegetables outside Jabulani mall said her permit had expired.
