DEFIANT EMALAHLENI MUNICIPALITY TO COMPLY WITH DIRECTIVE TO REGISTER SPAZA SHOPS

Tough talk by both the Provincial Government leadership and ANC top brass seems to have forced Emalahleni Local Municipality to back paddle on its stance not to register spaza shops, as previously stated by the Executive Mayor, Cllr Vusi Nhlapho on Wednesday, 20 November 2024.

The Provincial Government’s Executive Council (EXCO) made it clear on Thursday, 21 November 2024 that all municipalities in the province were expected to abide by the directive from President Cyril Ramaphosa to register all spaza shops within 21 days from the pronouncement made on 15 November 2024.

The municipality took the decision to stop the registrations on Wednesday and opted to refer the matter to council for a resolution on how the municipality would implement the registrations in tandem with its by-laws.

The move did not sit well with both the EXCO and party leaders, who strongly pushed back on the decision. EXCO Spokesperson MEC Thulasizwe Thomo, defined the decision as tantamount to bringing the government into disrepute and said that Nhlapho would need to be called to order.

On Friday, 22 November 2024, less than 24 hours from Thomo’s utterances, the municipality announced plans to roll out registrations of all spaza shops starting on Monday, 25 November 2024.

See link below on where and when to register, including all the requirements for the applicants.

EXCO | MUNICIPALITIES MUST COMPLY WITH DIRECTIVE TO REGISTER SPAZA SHOPS

The Executive Council (EXCO) of the Mpumalanga Provincial Government said all municipalities in the province must comply with the directive from President Cyril Ramaphosa to register spaza shops operating within their localities.

The EXCO held a media briefing in Mbombela on Thursday, 21 November 2024 to outline the outcomes of the sitting convened on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 by Premier Mandla Ndlovu.

EXCO spokesperson MEC Thulasizwe Thomo, in response to a question regarding Emalahleni Local Municipality’s decision to stop the registration of spaza shops, said it was unfortunate if the municipality was contradicting what the president said.

This comes after Emalahleni Mayor, Cllr Vusi Nhlapho pulled the plug on the registration of spaza shops on Wednesday and said that the matter would be referred to council first for a resolution on the way forward.

However, Thomo emphasized that what the president says becomes policy and must be adhered to by all, including spheres of government.

"Once the president makes a pronouncement, such becomes a policy. So you cannot, at the lower level of government, contradict what the president said. That would be tantamount to putting the government of the country into disrepute" added Thomo

Spaza shop owners have two weeks left to register their businesses before action is taken against those who are not compliant, which include arrests.

A MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR ZWELI'S KILLER

Investigations are underway for an unknown suspect who shot and killed Zweli Mabogwane (37) in the early hours (around 4h30) of Wednesday, 20 November 2024 in Lynnville, eMalahleni.

Reports say a few moments later, a gun went off once and Zweli started running. However, the assailant went after him, and two more gun shots were heard. Mabogwane was later found laying on the ground and was declared dead by paramedics.

Police are requesting the assistance of the community to come forward with any valuable information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect responsible for the death of Mabogwane.

EMALAHLENI MAYOR PULLS THE BRAKES ON SPAZA SHOPS REGISTRATION

Emalahleni Local Municipality has made a u-turn on the registration of spaza shops following an urgent meeting called by the municipality on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 at the city's Banquet Hall.

Executive Mayor, Cllr. Vusi Nhlapho said the municipality will not go ahead with the registrations as per the call by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday, 15 November 2024, to have all spaza shops registered with municipalities they operate in, within 21 days from his announcement.

Nhlapho said spaza shops are the pride of South Africans and are important for the local economy, particularly the township economy and should therefore be protected.

Scores of shop owners who showed up for the meeting on Wednesday with the hopes of registering their businesses, were turned away by some of the angry residents who were opposed to the registration of foreign owned spaza shops.

The mayor said they were going to take the president's speech and align it with the municipal bylaws and the council will have to take a resolution on it, before calling another community meeting to outline the way forward on the matter.

WATCH | EMALAHLENI LOCAL MUNICIPALITY SCOOPS AN AWARD

Emalahleni Local Municipality has scooped an impressive award for the successful implementation of the Token Identifier (TID) Rollover a year before the deadline at the 2024 SALGA Municipal Recognition Awards held in Mbombela on Wednesday night, 13 November 2024.

The Standard Transfer Specification (STS) is the global standard for the transfer of electricity and other utility prepayment tokens.

All prepayment meters based on STS technology will stop dispensing electricity on 24 November 2024, thus presenting a significant risk to the service levels, sales, and revenue collection of all municipalities to end user customers in the electricity utilities business.

The TID is referenced to a base date of 1993 and will run out of range in 2024 (known as the TID Rollover event), thus causing the prepayment meter to stop accepting new tokens.

The municipality set a trend by completing the TID Rollover by October 2023 and shared knowledge on how they have successfully implemented this project which was beneficial to other municipalities.
