Snackette operator claims discrimination
Workers in the process of breaking the snackette.
For the past 15 years, Mohammed Jamat popularly known as ‘Billygoat’ has been operating his snackette in Meten–Meer–Zorg, only to have it broken down by the Region Three authorities as part of the government’s plan to remove persons vending on the reserves.
The man noted that a few years ago he was told by the authorities that he needs to move his stall off from the roadway a little, since it was affecting the free flow of traffic, and he complied.
However, approximately one month ago he was informed by the Region Three authorities that he needs to remove his snackette completely from the government reserve.
The man said that, while he is not against the authorities doing their job, he urged for them to do it the correct way, by also removing other persons in the area who are also on the administration’s reserve. He explained that his family’s income depends on the income generated from the stall, and he is now left to wonder what would come next, as he is a very sickly man.
He is calling on the authorities to look into the situation with some urgency since his life depends on it.
