I used to do a lot of different once-off markets (at hospices, etc), but Tshwane killed that. I'm a one-man business, I can't afford a certificate for every market. If it wasn't for the cost of fuel, I'd only be doing markets in Johannesburg: certificates are free, their inspectors are really helpful, and visit markets regularly - to assist traders regarding requirements, etc., not to issue fines.

This is ridiculous. There is more and more red tape making it impossible for small businesses to survive.

I hate it when they steal our money and waste it away and steal our stuff to give to the poor instead of feeding the poor the responsible way like they said they do

We shouldn't let the goverment or municipalities prohibit local businesses from growth. We should better empower them as they bring the value of our community up. These costs could see more locations close making for less economical growth in small communities who need it most! People will loose their jobs if this is implemented

It's a hefty fee, especially considering that other metro like Johannesburg issue it for free. We barely make any profit as small businesses, why not support us by making this affordable. This creates yet another barrier to entry!!

As a small business owner, I simply cannot afford to pay this fee it takes away any profit I would make. It really kills small businesses in Tswane and it is also not fair or democratic for some to have to pay this. What is the purpose? It does not have a purpose other than drive small businesses to the ground.
