This came after Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced that informal food traders could again earn a living during the 21-day lockdown.

The City of Johannesburg has commenced issuing permits to informal food traders following the amendment of Covid-19 lockdown regulations.

Informal traders from various regions outside the City of Joburg queued outside the DED offices on Monday to obtain accreditation and permits to operate. “There was no one to assist us in the morning with the forms, around 9am, 10am. There are people who are supposed to help us here,” said Fani Maseko.

Pay R3m or retract! Scare for Joburg dad who accused Spar of hiking pricesA Robertsham man who claimed in a Facebook post that supermarkets in his area of Johannesburg were hiking their prices during lockdown received a demand of R3m from the owner of one of the stores for “financial losses and reputational damage'. Bullying, were there no pictures of Spar prices circulating on social media? If Spar gets away with this, Dischem will pull the same thing and so will Pick n Pay. He thought freedom of speech is the way to go, now he wants help against the lawsuit. Sometimes just shut up. So let me get this right...1 Spar claims R3m from 1 person who claims price hiking, but Spar put up posters nationally causing people to abandon pets and only pledge R400k support? Up your game Spar, 1 store claims R1m per day lost!
