Bobbie Lemao, who’s been operating a shop in the area for about 38 years, said Sowetans had lost their grip on the township economy because they no longer had access to cash flow. Although the situation remained calm this weekend, residents fear that as long as the socio-economic situation in the townships remains unresolved, people will go on a rampage again.
“What frustrates us is that the money linked to corruption is being spent by politicians in front of everyone,” said Lemao. “We are giving them more space and protecting them against any opposition because we are angry and cannot see this anger is driving us towards supporting them .” “We managed to move 75% of the stock worth about R700 000. It took us three loads, but that was not all of it.”“The first phase is the anger of the community, the second phase is the hooliganism where fridges are stolen,” he pointed out.
“This has been going on for a long time. We are angry because there’s confusion. The government needs to address people and foreigners and if they don’t address these issues, more damage will happen.
