Investigations are under way to determine if South Africans are renting out trading stalls to foreign nationals — both legal and illegal.

This was confirmed by City of Johannesburg spokesperson Nthatisi Modingoane who told Sowetan that these investigations were ongoing.

“The operations are currently being conducted by law enforcement agencies JMPD [Johannesburg Metro Police Department], SA Police Service and home affairs. This means that the city is clueless how many traders — foreign or South African — are operating on the city's streets. Shops and other businesses in Alexandra were forced to shut last week when locals, who claimed they were part of the Dudula Movement, Both groups, which have made it clear they are separate entities, have criticised the government's failure to implement its own immigration policies and ensure that South Africans were put first when it comes to job opportunities in the informal and tourism sectors.

Bara Informal Traders Association secretary Marlyne Mabunda placed the blame solely on the city, saying it failed to implement its own informal trading policy bylaws.
