There are reports getting to us indicating that most communities that looted foreign owned shops are experiencing acute shortage of groceries in those communities.
You will recall that most but not all South African communities last week evicted and looted foreign-owned spaza/provision shops complaining that foreigners were taking their businesses and jobs away.
We had noted here that civilization had made the globe a village, in sense that there were no business boundaries in present day kind of business and advised South Africans who are interested in those type of businesses foreigner were doing to look beyond the plain to learn the secrets of their successes.
They insisted and looted those shops; but till now we are yet to get any report of a new spaza by citizens of South Africa in order to take advantage of the opportunity created by the xenophobic attacks.
This in my own view is portraying the fact that those looting actually were not done for those reasons given by locals rather it was done to take advantage of the situation. Now that South Africans have looted the foreign shops, we are only waiting to hear of new ones because a lot of people rely on those shops for their day-to-day household needs. In the absence of which would make it stressful for the residents to get their needed gloceries.
