This happened on Thursday morning where Johannesburg Metro cops took sandwiches from an entrepreneur. Itumeleng Lekomamyane is the entrepreneur who sells sandwiches for a living.
Yesterday tweeted and stated that he’s been requested to pay a storage fee of R160 which was not happy about.
Plus the condition of the food was not up to standard anymore.
“I have to pay for storage as if I asked for this to happen, I need my containers too,” he said.
Daily Sun spoke to the JMPD spokesman, Superintendent Wayne Minnaar who said Street vendors may not trade within 5 metres of an intersection or trade next to an ATM.
“They cannot trade in front of a place of worship, not in an entrance, not in front of a park, not on a pavement that is too narrow to cause people to walk in the street,” he said.
Tweeps were touched and they voiced their concerns about the JMPD and what they should be focusing on.
Nigerians up there selling drugs in ‘Metro’ Malls, but these ‘Metros’ never confiscate their drugs there. It’s inspirational and a breath of fresh air to still see a South African business in JHB city and a young one at that.#JMPD

Why doesn’t the #JMPD concentrate on more pressing matters. 1. Unroadworthy vehicles. 2. Disregard of traffic laws. Just these two points are causing mayhem and death on our roads.

It hurts me deep to think that Joburg CBD we have foreigners selling on street lanes, ke sphithiphithi & nothing is done to them, but our local boy doing such a good job is broken down. What kind of a country are we that doesn’t put its people first? #JMPD shame on you

Even here in Soweto, #JMPD is known to harass street vendors on regular basis. People who try to make an honest living should be encouraged. If they’re transgressing certain by-laws, common ground should be found. Confiscation of their stock is beyond heartless.
