ActionSA Ekurhuleni mayoral candidate Cllr Xolani Khumalo has criticised SAPS after allegedly encountering Ethiopian, Somali, and Bangladeshi nationals engaging with police officials at Vosloorus Police Station while seeking a briefing on the Mazwi Kubheka investigation. Khumalo accused law enforcement of legitimising illegal foreign spaza shop operators and sidelining South African entrepreneurs, while calling for stricter enforcement and the reclamation of the township spaza sector for local ownership.
