Cockroaches, rotting meat and dirty fridges. These were some of the discoveries made at eating establishments in the Pinetown central business district yesterday by officials from the eThekwini municipality and other units.

Durban -

Further drama ensued when a manager at the store, who was pleading with officials to leave the establishment open, was asked where the owner of the store was. He claimed he was the owner and was then asked to show proper documentation for him to be in South Africa. It was found he did not have the proper documentation and was promptly arrested. The man then said he was not the owner of the store, but it did not prevent his arrest.

Mzobe said some of the patterns they noticed in the area was that some store owners and employees did not have proper documentation. She said they were not allowed to work while holding a visitor’s permit. Earlier in the day officials arrested another person at an arcade in the Pinetown CBD for not having proper immigration documents and an eatery’s management was fined for throwing food down a stormwater drain. As officials were issuing fines to the eatery’s owner, others went to another store which did photocopies and scanning. An employee who did not have proper immigration documents was arrested. Another employee made a run for it and a chase ensued. However, the officials did not catch him.
